Spielo Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The Decemberists - 16 Military Wives, a superb song, regardless of any stances involved. Personally, the song's attack on the US TV Media's use of news for entertainment is more interesting.

metallithrax Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Slayer, Mandatory Suicide. Murder at your every foot step. A child's toy sudden death. Sniper blazes you thru your knees Falling down can you feel the heat, Burn! Ambushed by the spray of lead Count the bullet holes in your head. Offspring sent out to cry, Living mandatory suicide. Suicide. [x 4] Holes burn deep in your chest, Raked by machine gun fire. Screaming soul sent out to die, Living mandatory suicide. Suicide. [x 4] [spoken:] Lying, dying, screaming in pain. Begging, pleading, bullets drop like rain. Mines explode, pain sheers through your brain, Radical amputation, this is insane. Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest. Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest. Soldier of misfortune Hunting with bated breath. A vile smell, like tasting death. Dead bodies, dying and wounded Litter the city streets Shattered glass, bits of clothing and human deceit. Dying [in] terror, Blood's cheap, it's everywhere. Mandatory suicide, massacre on the front line. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/490048-anti-war-songs/#findComment-587822571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
