Richard Thompson: Dad's Gonna Kill Me
Dad’s in a bad mood, Dad’s got the blues
It’s someone else’s mess that I didn’t choose
At least we’re winning on the Fox Evening News
Nobody loves me here |

Arcade Fire: Intervention
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home/
Hear the soldier groan all quiet and alone/
Hear the soldier groan all quiet and alone |

Freda Payne: Bring the Boys Home
Fathers are pleading, lovers are all alone
Mothers are prayin', send our sons back home (tell 'em 'bout it) /
You marched them away, yes you did now, on ships and planes /
To a senseless war facing death in vain |
|
Tom Chelston, former US soldier: BushWhacked
Their fathers and mothers wake up crying in the middle of the night / Their hearts jump with every knock upon the door / Soldiers and civilians bleeding and dying in the middle of this fight / Still trying to figure out what they're really dying for |

Bruce Springsteen:
Bring 'Em Home
Now we'll give no more brave young lives
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home
For the gleam in someone's eyes
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home

Bruce Springsteen: Mrs McGrath
All foreign war, I do proclaim
Between Don John and the King of Spain
But by jaze I'll make them rue the time
They stole the legs from a son of mine

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town

Tom Waits:
Road to Peace
Once Kissinger said "we have no friends,
America only has interests"
Now our president wants to be seen as a hero
And he's hungry for re-election |

Kris Kristofferson:
In the News
See the lightning, hear the cries
Of the wounded in a world in Holy war
Mortal thunder from the skies
Killing everything they say they're fighting for |

Jackson Brown Lives in the Balance
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war. VIDEO |

Robert Cray: Twenty
They call this a war on terror
I see a lot of civilians dying
Mothers sons fathers and daughters
Not to mention some friends of mine VIDEO |

Pink video Dear Mr President VIDEO
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry / How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye / How do you walk with your head held high / Can you even look me in the eye |

James Blunt: No Bravery
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here. VIDEO |
