[Echo In Light]

2. It could've been better in spots...

But overall drives the point home quite well.

[Rex]

5. Excellent video! Thanks for posting. It's encouraging to see that it has almost

a half a million views. It's not so encouraging that so many of the viewers still don't get it.:shrug:

11. Some people won't understand war until they've been through a battlefield, I'm afraid.

There are people who are that dense, I'm sure.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

6. Amazing! Love those lyrics.

They ARE war pigs!

[bluerum]

7. Some things never change.

[Blashyrkh]

8. The song is 37 years old this year, and as relevant as ever.

"War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. Copyright etc etc

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, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their Judgment day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah!

[Zorra]

10. Yeah. Same shit, different war pigs. n/t

15. I'm proud to say "War Pigs" was the first song I played in my college radio days

It was literally days after Desert Storm had begun. I dedicated it to George Bush and Saddam Hussein.

[Echo In Light]

16. I too am an old Sabbath fan from back before then even...

As far as anti-war messages/songs, they have some real barn burners:
War Pigs
Electric Funeral
Into The Void
...and, Children of The Grave:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X0PoaTJUAE&feature=related

Revolution in their minds, the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise of tomorrow bring peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world,
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
You must be brave!
Or you children of today are
Children of the grave

[razors edge]

9. Not bad at all.

Have you seen this?

Graphic warning, to say the least.

[Swamp Rat]

12. Oh Lord yeah!

[kineneb]

13. having flashbacks of Vietnam footage

the battles are in a desert, instead of the jungle...but other than that, nothing has changed.

I thought we could do better. But we didn't.

14. K & R for an awesome reworking of a great old tune!
