"And so once again /

America, my friend /

And so once again /

You are fighting us all /

And when we ask you why /

You raise your sticks and cry /

And we fall, Oh my friend,

How did you come to trade the fiddle for the drum? /

You say we have turned /

Like the enemies you've earned /

But we can remember all the good things you are /

And so we ask you please /

Can we help you find the peace and the star /

Oh, my friend /

We have all come to fear the beating of your drum"

Joni Mitchell

"Come you masters of war /

You that build all the guns /

You that build the death planes /

You that build the big bombs /

You that hide behind walls /

You that hide behind desks /

I just 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 "

Bob Dylan
