I'm interested in making a play list with songs having lyrics of a political or anti-war nature. If you know of any, on VS, please leave a link in the comments.
Thanks, Eric http://www.videosift.com/playlists/eric3579/Political-Anti-War-Songs Comments  who has this post bookmarked Eklek

Even though the official track was directly about a gunfighting, wild-west lawman talking to his mother while he lays dying, the lyrics were written to work for a dying soldier, or one just tired of the fighting...

"Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door."
Dylan also sang different lyrics every other time he played it live for a
time, either replacing one or two lines ("Mama put my guns in the ground, I'm sick and tired of the war") or changing the whole song;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHJBOOEkZ4o
"Mama wipe the blood off of my face
I cant see threw it anymore.
Need someone to talk to at my new hiding place
feels like I'm looking at heaven's door.
Mama I can hear that thunder roar
echoing down from God's distant shore.
I can hear them calling for my soul
feel I'm knocking on heaven's door."
Okay... for fun I'm sifting my favorite version.
