War Pigs - Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses

Just like witches at black masses

Evil minds that plot destruction

Sorcerers of death's construction

In the fields the bodies burning

As the war machine keeps turning

Death and hatred to mankind

poisoning their brainwashed minds

Oh Lord yeah

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why should they go out to fight

They leave that all to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds

Making war just for fun

Treating people just like pawns in chess

Wait 'till their judgment day comes

Now in darkness world stops turning

As the war machine keeps burning

No more war pigs have the power

Hand of God has struck the hour

Day of judgment God is calling

On their knees, the war pigs crawling

Begging mercy for their sins

Satan laughing spreads his wings

Oh Lord yeah

"God Save The Queen"

God save the queen

For fascist regime

They made you a moron

Potential H-bomb

God save the queen

She ain't no human being

There is no future

In England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want

Don't be told what you need

There's no future, no future,

No future for you

God save the queen

We mean it man

We love our queen

God saves

God save the queen

'Cause tourists are money

And our figurehead

Is not what she seems

Oh God save history

God save your mad parade

Oh Lord God have mercy

All crimes are paid

When there's no future

How can there be sin

We're the flowers in the dustbin

We're the poison in your human machine

We're the future, you're future

God save the queen

We mean it man

We love our queen

God saves

God save the queen

We mean it man

And there is no future

In England's dreaming

No future no future

No future for you

No future no future

No future for me

No future no future

No future for you

No future no future

No future for you

No future no future for you

"Anarchy In The U.K."

Right! Now ha ha ha...

I am an antichrist

I am an anarchist

Don't know what I want

But I know how to get it

I wanna destroy the passerby

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy

Now don't worry

Anarchy for the UK

It's coming sometime and maybe

I give a wrong time stop a traffic line

Your future dream is a shopping scheme

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy

In the city

How many ways to get what you want

I use the best

I use the rest

I use the N.M.E

I use Anarchy

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy

It's the only way to be

Is this the M.P.L.A or

Is this the U.D.A or

Is this the I.R.A

I thought it was the UK

Or just another country

Another council tenancy

I wanna be Anarchy

And I wanna be Anarchy

(Oh what a name)

And I wanna be an anarchist

(I get pissed, destroy!)

I agree Rumin, when it comes to Political songs, Bob is miles and miles ahead of anyone.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Chuch! People that don't listen to Dylan make me sad.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

me too

i was just listening to freewheelin' :)

girl from the north country makes me smile even with strep throat :D

such a pretttty song :wub:

Back on topic...I'm not sure if politician really counts as a political song swabr7 :lol:

and kevdo...awesome song dude...it's the song that birthed heavy rock rock3

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Have you heard the duet of that song with Dylan and Cash? It's amazing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

of course!

but the melody and the playing is far superior in the freewheelin' version

altho...both their voice are awesssome in the nashville version

you know they're making a movie about cash? walk the line!

can't wait to check it out :)

R.I.P. Johnny

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, I have been waiting for Walk The Line since the summer. I can't wait to see it. I agree with you about the melody being better in Freewheelin'. Overall, though, the Nashville Skyline version is much more touching.

Only a Pawn In Their Game

A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood.

A finger fired the trigger to his name.

A handle hid out in the dark

A hand set the spark

Two eyes took the aim

Behind a man's brain

But he can't be blamed

He's only a pawn in their game.

A South politician preaches to the poor white man,

"You got more than the blacks, don't complain.

You're better than them, you been born with white skin," they explain.

And the Negro's name

Is used it is plain

For the politician's gain

As he rises to fame

And the poor white remains

On the caboose of the train

But it ain't him to blame

He's only a pawn in their game.

The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid,

And the marshals and cops get the same,

But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool.

He's taught in his school

From the start by the rule

That the laws are with him

To protect his white skin

To keep up his hate

So he never thinks straight

'Bout the shape that he's in

But it ain't him to blame

He's only a pawn in their game.

From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks,

And the hoof beats pound in his brain.

And he's taught how to walk in a pack

Shoot in the back

With his fist in a clinch

To hang and to lynch

To hide 'neath the hood

To kill with no pain

Like a dog on a chain

He ain't got no name

But it ain't him to blame

He's only a pawn in their game.

Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.

They lowered him down as a king.

But when the shadowy sun sets on the one

That fired the gun

He'll see by his grave

On the stone that remains

Carved next to his name

His epitaph plain:

Only a pawn in their game.

Thanks for some great ideas. I make a CD of European History themed music for my AP Euro kids when the test draws near and I picked up some cool ideas.

How about half of what's written by Rage Against the Machine. Sleep now in the fire comes to mind.

It always works out well, and there's a gnr song on every cd... this year, there'll be two.  In memory of Henry VIII we've added Used to Love her, and of course, Sympathy for the Devil is great for Euro history.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

should add this song

Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert (Waters)

"Oi...Get your filthy hands off my desert!"

"What 'e say?"

Brezhnev took Afghanistan.

Begin took Beirut.

Galtieri took the Union Jack.

And Maggie, over lunch one day,

Took a cruiser with all hands.

Apparently, to make him give it back.
