=Protest Music 1- by Jon Frantin, Stacey Antimony, and Brian Littlehale= = = ="Masters of War" -Bob Dylan= code Come you masters of war You that build the big guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just don't want you to know I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my world Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch While the death count gets higher Then you hide in your mansion While the young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins

How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead

You say you'll change the constitution Well, you know We all want to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right all right, all right, all right all right, all right, all right

Sky Pilot by The Animals

He blesses the boys, as they stand in line The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine He's there to help them all that he can To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man Sky Pilot Sky Pilot How high can you fly? You'll never, never, never, reach the sky He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight Soon there'll be blood and many will die Mothers and fathers back home they will cry You're soldiers of God you must understand The fate of your country is in your young hands May God give you strength Do your job well If it all was worth it Only time it will tell Sky Pilot Sky Pilot How high can you fly? You'll never, never, never, reach the sky He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile The order is given, they move down the line But he'll stay behind, and he'll meditate But it won't stop the bleeding, or ease the hate As the young men move out into the battle zone He feels good, with God you're never alone He feels so tired as he lays on his bed Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said Sky Pilot Sky Pilot How high can you fly? You'll never, never, never, reach the sky In the morning they return with tears in their eyes The stench of death lifts up to the skies A young soldier so ill, looks at the Sky Pilot Remembers the words 'Thou shalt not kill'. Sky Pilot Sky Pilot How high can you fly? You'll never, never, never, reach the sky song created on Thursday June, 13th 1996
