Voices for peace choose their favourite anti-war song

Ben Griffin, former SAS soldier who refused to fight in the Iraq war:
"A very short song that says more in 50 seconds than most songs manage in five minutes. I like the way D Boon manages to highlight the separation between propaganda and reality."

No Parade

by The Minutemen

No Parade Lyrics

having to fight
having to kill
having to see blood to spill
so this is what it's all about
it's not john wayne in a movie
there are no parades for these heroes
and all i line up are the widows
war is real
when death is made with steel
i don't want to see it
i can't believe in it
