6. War by Edwin Starr (Original Video - 1969) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01-2pNCZiNk&feature=related War...huh...yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing WAR! I despise, 'cos it means destruction of innocent lives, War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes, When their sons gone to fight and lose their lives. WAR! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker, War. Friend only to the undertaker. Ohhh! War is an enemy to all mankind, The thought of war blows my mind. War has caused unrest within the younger generation Induction then destruction...who wants to die? Ohhh

7. "War" by Edwin Starr WAR! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker, War! It's got one friend that's the undertaker. Ohhhh! War has shattered many a young man's dream, Made him disabled, bitter and mean, Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days. War can't give life, it can only take it away! War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker, War. Friend only to the undertaker...woo Peace lovin' understand then tell me, Is there no place for them today? They say we must fight to keep our freedom, But Lord knows there's got to be a better way.

13. Leonard Cohen: Democracy Leonard Cohen: Democracy (spoken) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbqM9R8g7rU Democracy - Leonard Cohen (song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3lOFECr8-s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3lOFECr8-s It's coming through a hole in the air, from those nights in Tiananmen Square It's coming from the feel that this ain't exactly real, or it's real, but it ain't exactly there. From the wars against disorder, from the sirens night and day, from the fires of the homeless, from the ashes of the gay: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

14. Leonard Cohen: Democracy It's coming through a crack in the wall; on a visionary flood of alcohol; from the staggering account of the Sermon on the Mount which I don't pretend to understand at all. It's coming from the silence on the dock of the bay, from the brave, the bold, the battered heart of Chevrolet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the sorrow in the street, the holy places where the races meet; from the homicidal bitchin' that goes down in every kitchen to determine who will serve and who will eat. From the wells of disappointment where the women kneel to pray for the grace of God in the desert here and the desert far away: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

15. Leonard Cohen: Democracy Sail on, sail on O mighty Ship of State! To the Shores of Need Past the Reefs of Greed Through the Squalls of Hate Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on. It's coming to America first, the cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range and the machinery for change and it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken and it's here the lonely say that the heart has got to open in a fundamental way: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

16. Leonard Cohen: Democracy It's coming from the women and the men. O baby, we'll be making love again. We'll be going down so deep the river's going to weep, and the mountain's going to shout Amen! It's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway, imperial, mysterious, in amorous array: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on... I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene. And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that Time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

18. Black Sabbath — War Pigs 1970 Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= xtqy4DTHGqg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= xtqy4DTHGqg Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'til their judgement day comes Yeah! Now in darkness world stops turning Ashes where the bodies burning No more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees the war pig's crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing spreads his wings Oh lord yeah!

19. Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills, 1982 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJbjrm BEgw8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJbjrm BEgw8 Pro-Native Poin of view: White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes, he killed our creed He took our game for his own need We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free? Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children the cowards attack Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whiskey and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills, run for your lives. Run to the hills, run for your lives.

Tale of a soldier whose body is severely damaged after he is hit by German artillery during World War I 1971 film adaptation now the world is gone I'm just one oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death darkness imprisoning me all that I see absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die trapped in myself body my holding cell landmine has taken my sight taken my speech taken my hearing taken my arms taken my legs taken my soul left me with life in hell

21. Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= XX-KjkdDozQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= XX-KjkdDozQ&feature=related Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless gray On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say? For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know (…) For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls The video contains video clips from "Cliff 'em All" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1943 film based on the novel by Ernest Hemmingway). Instrument timings may be off because Metallica played at a higher tempo live than their original track. Take a look to the sky just before you die It's the last time you will Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery He hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

22. Metallica - Master Of Puppets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z- hEyVQDRA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z- hEyVQDRA Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master

23. Metallica - The Day That Never Comes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYBt n4CwjMc&feature=fvst http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYBt n4CwjMc&feature=fvst Mouth so full of lies Tend to black your eyes Just keep them closed Keep praying Just keep waiting Waiting for the one The day that never comes When you stand up And feel the warmth But the sunshine never comes, no No the sunshine never comes Love is a four letter word And never spoken here Love is a four letter word Here in the prison I suffer this no longer I'll put an end to This I swear This I swear The sun will shine This I swear This I swear This I swear
