1. Ooh, a song recommendation...

If you don't have it yet... there's a remix by DJ Spooky called Not In Our Name, and it is terrific. Also, Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, if you don't have it yet, is really good. Somebody just redid it recently, but I'm having trouble tracking down who...

[roseBudd]

2. You can use DUers own "In the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey...

Iraq is flaming with a loser in the cruise control...

A GI hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of cannon fodder
He's hanging, so he can't sing...

With the rerun wars of Mr. Cocaine Nosejob

[OneAngryDemocrat]

5. Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah

Is 'Hallelujah' on the Shrek soundtrack?

[LynzM]

27. and the lyrics

"Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

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
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

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

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

If someone can find an mp3 version of the Chick's new tune, please post it!!!

10. "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is IMO the greatest anti-war song

Here's a link with lyrics & Eric Bogle performing it live on radio (the quality is pretty poor, but perfectly audible):
http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/parton/2/matilda.html

I just mentioned in the lounge Pink's anti-war song, written by her father in Vietnam & performed together. It appears as a bonus track on her new album.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5028296&mesg_id=5028877

Here's a recent anti-Bush song from DJ Green Lantern called "Impeach the President":

Here's a bootleg of a recent gig from Billy Bragg -
http://www.bradleysalmanac.com/2006/03/mp3s-billy-bragg-in-somerville-ma.htm

Finally you may want to check around the stuff on this CD put out by the UK Stop the War coalition back in 2003 (Ani DiFranco's "Self Evident" being my highlight):
http://www.peace-not-war.org/Music/index.html

[OneAngryDemocrat]

12. Neil Young's 'Impeach the President'

I read a news article that Young just wrapped up a new recording - anyone got a heads up on a website?

[Ice4Clark]

21. I heard it won't be available for 6 to 8 weeks

[OneAngryDemocrat]

62. When it hits ther net...

If this thread is still active, please make a post about it's location on the web.

[cynatnite]

18. ANTI-FLAGS's - "One Trillion Dollars"...

Lyrics:


One trillion dollars can buy a lot of bling
One trillion dollars can buy most anything
One trillion dollars buying bullets, buying guns
One trillion dollars in the hands of killers and thugs

Fuck the world
A lot of people gotta die tonight
Fuck the world
----> Kill <----- 'em all

One trillion dollars in Africa, Iraq
One trillion dollars and it’s never coming back
One trillion dollars can buy some bad-ass drugs
One trillion dollars makes me wanna kill myself

Fuck the world
A lot of people gotta die tonight
Fuck the world
----> Kill <----- 'em all

Until the sun comes from the sky
Until the sun comes over
This world is no more
Until the sun comes from the sky
And all the people are distressed underground

One trillion dollars can buy a heart and soul
One trillion dollars buying nations of the world
One trillion dollars could make the fat lady sing
One trillion dollars, what a bullshit useless thing

Fuck the world
A lot of people gotta die tonight

Fuck the world
A lot of people gotta die tonight!

Shit loads of money spent
To show us wrong from right

Fuck the world
----> Kill <----- 'em all

[OneAngryDemocrat]

Well - Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye
Bye bye to you and I
Uncle Sam's gonna say good-bye
Bye bye to you and I

He's gonna post his picture on every door
Sign up now let's go to war
Don't get fooled like you did before
He ain't gonna point at me no more

He's gonna give us guns, gonna give us tools
Gonna send us to enforces his rules
But as we sail to some troubled land
Be sure he'll stand just a waving his hand

And it's one two three what are we fighting for
Don't ask - don't give a damn
Next stop, Iraq again
And it's five, six, seven - open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why -
whoopee we're all going to die.

Post his picture on every door
Sign up now lets go to war
Don't get fooled like you did before
He ain't gonna point at me no more

29. Country Joe McDonald

Listen to the song~link below

Support the Troops
Copyright © 2005 by Joe McDonald

Beat the drum, wave the flag,
For those who won’t be coming back.
Numbers rising, build another Wall
For those who answered the Country’s call.
Support the troops
Support the troops
Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Dads
Left with nothing but a folded flag.
Gold Star Brothers, Sisters too
Feel their pain, it could be you!
Support the troops
Support the troops
Chorus:
Chicken hawk, draft dodging, son Of A Bush
Look at all the damage you did!
American war in the Holy Land
Blood for oil, not in my name!
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Some day soon, don’t know when
We’ll see the wounded women and men
Lining the walls of American streets
Hands out begging for something to eat.
Support the troops
Support the troops
Forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
Wondering "What were we fighting for?"
World War III around the bend
That’s what we get with the George Bush Plan.
Support the troops
Support the troops
Chorus:
Chicken hawk, draft dodging, son Of A Bush
Look at all the damage you did!
American war in the Holy Land
Blood for oil, not in my name!
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Oh, not in my name
Not in my name
American shame
Not in my name

American shame.

This was from the DNC blog lizzy;Idiot son;http://www.bushflash.com/idiot.html Idiot son When will we ever learn! If you are Christian today is Good Friday.It's the day Jesus was crucified on the cross,for our sins. I hope a light has gone off for people that this instinct dubya's always talking about is this sort of weird, Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do.He truly believes he's on a mission from God. Absolute faith like that overwhelms a need for analysis. The whole thing about faith is to believe things for which there is no evidence. 'This is why he doesn't hear from anyone who doubts him.'

I must warn you this has some disturbing pictures.Jesus loves me.songhttp://peacetakescourage.cf.huffingtonpost.com/animations/wwjd.

We Shall Overcome..

42. That was the most true of all.

Or we are all lost.

There is a short (unfortunately) clip of this, and short (unfortunately) clips of other truth-speaking songs here: http://www.lib.virginia.edu/small/exhibits/music/audio.html

There is something seriously deformed in a society (economy) where these voices are notr allowed to be freely shared.

There is a good stream (realplayer) of a full version of "We Shall Overcome" and some others at http://f99.middlebury.edu/AC200A/civil_rights_songs.htm but no saveable mp3s that I have yet found.

41. An "Ashes, Ashes, All Fall Down" Duo: The Grateful Dead & R.E.M.

The Grateful Dead- Throwing Stones

http://www3.clearlight.com/~acsa/introjs.htm?/~acsa/songfile/THROWING.HTM

Throwing Stones

Lyrics: John Barlow
Music: Bob Weir

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid we may lay our home to waste

There's a fear down here we can't forget
Hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Now watch as the ball revolves and the night-time falls
And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls
By and by, again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes
(Well I know)
It strolls the sidewalk and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
It's you and me, you and me

Click flash blade in ghetto night
Rudy's looking for a fight
Rat cat alley, roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that Jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice
Anyway they fall, guess who gets to pay the price?
Money green, or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink
History's page will be neatly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own, on our own, we are on our own

If the game is lost, then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shining ball of blue we call our home

So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Shipping powders back and forth
Singing black goes south and white comes north
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
The radical, he rant and rage
Singing someone got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
'Cause it's all too clear we're on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities

Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
(etc)

R.E.M. - "Bad Day"

http://www.retroweb.com/rem/lyrics/menu_InTime.html

From: In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003


("Bad Day" was originally penned circa 1986, during the Life's Rich Pageant sessions. In 2003, the song was resurrected, modified and released on R.E.M.'s "In Time" greatest hits compilation. Below are the official lyrics to this version of the song.)

A Public service announcement followed me home the other day
I paid it nevermind. Go away.
Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick
Free Teflon whitewashed presidency
We're sick of being jerked around
Wear that on your sleeve

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

Have you ever seen the televised St. Vitus subcommittee prize
Investigation dance? Those-ants-in- pants glances.
Well, look behind the eyes
It's a hallowed, hollow anesthesized
"save my own ass, screw these guys"
smoke and mirror lock down

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
the papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh. Not one more

Its been a bad day.
Please dont take a picture
Its been a bad day.
Please

We're dug in the deep the price is steep.
The auctioneer is such a creep.
The lights went out, the oil ran dry
We blamed it on the other guy
Sure, all men are created equal.
Here's the church, here's the steeple
Please stay tuned--we cut to sequel
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings.
Embrace the lowest fear/Ignore the lower fears
Ugh, this means war.

Its been a bad day.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around
We all fall down.

Its been a bad day...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

46. James McMurtry's "We Can't Make It Here Anymore."

There's a Vietnam Vet with a cardboard sign
Sitting there by the left turn line
One leg missing and both hands free
No one's paying much mind to him
The VA budget's just stretched too thin
And now there's more coming back from the mideast war
We can't make it here any more

The big ol' building was the textile mill
It fed our kids and it paid our bills
But they turned us out and then closed the doors
We can't make it here any more

See those pallets piled up on the loading dock
they're just gonna set there til they rot
cause there's nothing to ship, nothing to pack
just busted concrete and rusted tracks
empty storefronts around the square
there's a needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
you don't come down here unless you're looking to score
we can't make it here anymore

The bar's still open but man it's slow
the tip jar's light and the register's low
the bartender don't have much to say
the regular crowd gets thinner each day
some have maxed out all their credit cards
some are working two jobs and livin' in cars
minimum wage won't pay for a roof, won't pay for drink
if you gotta have proof just try it yourself mr CEO
see how far $5.15 an hour will go
take a part time job at one of your stores
bet you can't make it here anymore

There's a high school girl with bourgeois dream
just like the pictuers in the magazine
she found on the floor of the laundromat
a woman with kids can forget all that
if she comes up pregnant what'll she do?
forget the career, forget about school
can she live on faith? live on hope?
high on jesus or hooked on dope
when its way too late to just say no
you can't make it here anymore

Now I'm stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart stores
just like the ones we made before
'cept this one came from Singapore
I guess we can't make it here anymore

Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin
or the shape of their eyes or the shape i'm in
should i hate em for having our jobs today
No I hate the men sent the jobs away
I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
all lily white and squeaky clean
they've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shit don't stink and their kids don't bleed
their kids don't bleed in their damn little war
and we can't make it here anymore

will work for food and die for oil
will kill for power and to us the spoils
the billionaires get to pay less tax
the working poor get to fall through the cracks
so let 'em eat jellybeans let 'em eat cake
let em eat shit, whatever it takes
they can join the Air Force or join the Corps
if they can't make here anymore

So that's how it is, that's what we got
if the president wants to admit it or not
you can read it in the papers, read it on the wall
hear it on the wind if you're listening at all
get out of that limo, look us in the eye
call us on the cell phone tell us all why

In Dayton Ohio or Portland Maine
or on a cotton gin out on the great high plains
that's done closed down along with the school
and the hospital and the swimming pool
dust devils dance in the noonday heat
there's rats in the alley and trash in the street
gang graffiti on a boxcar door
we can't make it here anymore

Lyrics

Well you better listen my sister's and brothers,
'cause if you do you can hear
there are voices still calling across the years.
And they're all crying across the ocean,
and they're cryin across the land,
and they will till we all come to understand.

None of us are free.
None of us are free.
None of us are free, one of us are chained.
None of us are free.

And there are people still in darkness,
and they just can't see the light.
If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right.
We got try to feel for each other, let our brother's know that we care.
Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear.

(Chorus)

It's a simple truth we all need, just to hear and to see.
None of us are free, one of us is chained.
None of us are free.
now I swear your salvation isn't too hard too find,
None of us can find it on our own.
We've got to join together in sprirt, heart and mind.
So that every soul who's suffering will know they're not alone.

(Chorus)

If you just look around you,
your gonna see what I say.
Cause the world is getting smaller each passing day.
Now it's time to start making changes,
and it's time for us all to realize,
that the truth is shining real bright right before our eyes.

(Chorus and Fade)

54. Mick Star - 'Jets'

lyrics and mp3 download here:
http://mickeystar.com/music-14.html

Lyrics

Jets into Dover,
Jets deliver death
Jets shuttling soldiers to mothers’ weeping breast
Jets to Dover back and forth,
Jets knock knocking at your door
Jets of death
They fly for us

Oh, say can you see by dawn’s early light
Missiles gleaming while our esteemed
Cowboy sleeps at night

Jets into Dover,
Jets deliver death
Jets shuttling soldiers to mothers’ weeping breast
Jets to Dover back and forth, Jets knock knocking at your door
Jets of death
They fly for us

We are almighty,
we are America
I am your leader,
all patriots listen to me
The enemy is ruthless
and he is listening
He wants us all dead immediately

Jets into Dover,
Jets deliver death
Jets shuttling soldiers to mothers’ weeping breast
Jets to Dover back and forth,
Jets knock knocking at your door
Jets of death
They fly for us

Friends, just the other day I read a letter from a Mother who said
The world’s a terrible place and I agree
Iraq, Iran and North Korea, Poppy tells me they are evil
Mother, trust me, and give me your son.
Trust me Mother and give me your son.

Jets into Dover,
Jets deliver death
Jets shuttling soldiers to mothers’ weeping breast
Jets to Dover back and forth,
Jets knock knocking at your door
Jets of death
They fly for us

We have stemmed the flow of tides
and we are keeping peace
And striking the enemy and those who give him love
We shall conquer who we must;
we’ll flush the bastards from the dust
Trust me Mother and give me your son
Trust me Mother and give me your son

Jets into Dover,
Jets deliver death
Jets shuttling soldiers to mothers’ weeping breast
Jets to Dover back and forth,
Jets knock knocking at your door
Jets of death
They fly for us




I made a video with the lousy Windows Movie Maker for the song (do what I can with what I've got).

Found a site that hosts videos, and uploaded it. They convert the files to flash - and it didn't translate well - I think it might have something to do with the video/ transition effects in WMM. It's got some weird jumps that throw off the timing and I'm not sure how to fix it - but for what it's worth-

"Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven"

While digesting Reader’s Digest
In the back of a dirty book store
A plastic flag with gum on the back
Fell out on the floor.
Well,I picked it up and ran outside
And slapped it on my windowshield.
And If I could see ol’ Betsy Ross
I’d tell her how good I feel.

(Chorus:)
But, you flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven anymore.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like Killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.

Well,I went to the Bank this morning
And the cashier said to me
If you join the Christmas Club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free.
I didn’t mess a round a bit
I took him up on what he said
And stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife’s forehead.

(Chorus:)
But, you flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven anymore.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like Killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.

Well,I got my windshield so filled with flags I couldn’t see
So I ran my car upside a curb and right into a tree
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead,
And I’ll never understand
Why the man,
Standing in the Pearly Gates said…

(Chorus:)
But your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore,
We’re already overcrowded from your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.

Anyone who disdains the arts is also devoid of any class - just my opinion.

Actually, it was Union soldiers singing ''When Jonny Comes Marching Home,'' that ended the Civil War wasn't it?

What the Nazis WON'T tell you, is that they have been visiting www.shockedandawful.com/Tunes.html , and have actually downloaded some of the songs, there.

LOL!!!
