Maybe we need more songs like these – or maybe we need a draft – or some stations that play anti war music – but we need something to awaken the broadest population to the problems in Iraq – with over 50 of our children killed there this month and over 600,000 Iraqis dead…..
I know Dylan was not writing about war – but the lyrics fit….and they are questions that we need to know about the shrub
Pete Seeger
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Bob Dylan
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ‘n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
