Give Peace A Chance - John Lennon I have been trying to find one particular song since I first read this post this morning, but try as I might, none of the songs listed match what's playing in my head. The chorus to the song I can't shake is "What are we fighting for" It's almost more of a chant than a song. None of the songs on You Tube are it. Blah! I'll keep peeking in here in case someone comes along and posts it. Great thread!

quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I Thanks Ron. But the one I have in mind repeats "What are we fighting for" over and over again. And its a little more modern sounding. tosses in a gratuitous slurp for your efforts

The Kinks and Ray Davies were as good as anyone from '66 onward about social commentary that was both sarcastic and sympathetic enough to be considered 'protest.' Autumn Almanac a funny one there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3AMWc6t3cc I like the part where his street is calling him back home and the background vocals sing the part of the street; 'come on home ... come on home ... '

No, but it is another great protest song. [:D] Just you watch! I'll wake up in the middle of the night with the name of the song.

What a wonderful thread HK!!! Here is my all time favorite protest song by Gil Scott Heron. It is a spin off on my signature line, cause these days most of the revolution WILL be televised. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised/Gil Scott Heron POWER TO THE PEOPLE, DAMN IT! PEACE

I don't know if it's the best, but this quiet little song had a lot of spirit. It was one of my favorites, back in the day. Vietnam Will Win by the Red Star Singers There's no youtube, but the song can still be downloaded various places. A far more popular song (I'd be surprised if hasn't already been listed here): [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhwCtlfX_VQ&feature=related]Volunteers[/link] by Jefferson Starships

What Are We Fighting For lyrics by Curt Smith what are we fighting for what am I trying to restore by taking aim at you it's not that I need the best I wnat you see I long to be successfully repressed I don't know why we fall what are we fighting for why do I always ask for more than this day can provide when did I loose your trust why do I choose to justify this dirty little war I don't know why we fall there was a time when I believed in providence where is that confidence now I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again into our rarely-go-round what am I waiting for isn't this where we fade to blackas you walk out the door if I'm so damn sure [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/curt-smith-lyrics/what-are-we-fighting-for-lyrics.html ] what are these tears I try to cheerfully ignore there was a time when I believed in providence where is that confidence now I see the world sideways and I'm falling off again into our rarely-go-round there was a time when I thought our salvation lied in the night's intimate heat my anger's contagious my wishes outrageous but dreams are my only relief I'm revolving, gravity keeps calling falling, into our rarely-go-round into our rarely-go-round into our rarely-go-round (what are we fighting for) when all the anger's gone who's lost and has won and dare we ask ourselves who are we fighting Is that it?
