Steve Earle - John Walker's Blues

Nakon američke intervencije u Afganistanu, poznati i kontroverzni američki glazbenik Steve Earle bijes puritanskog dijela američke javnosti navukao je na sebe skladavši pjesmu »John Walker's Blues« o Amerikancu koji je u Afganistanu zarobljen među pripadnicima al-Qaede

I'm just an American boy raised on MTV
And I've seen all those kids in the soda pop ads
But none of 'em looked like me
So I started lookin' around for a light out of the dim
And the first thing I heard that made sense was the word
Of Mohammed, peace be upon him

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
There is no God but God

If my daddy could see me now – chains around my feet
He don't understand that sometimes a man
Has got to fight for what he believes
And I believe God is great, all praise due to him
And if I should die, I'll rise up to the sky
Just like Jesus, peace be upon him


We came to fight the Jihad and our hearts were pure and strong
As death filled the air, we all offered up prayers
And prepared for our martyrdom
But Allah had some other plan, some secret not revealed
Now they're draggin' me back with my head in a sack
To the land of the infidel

A shadu la ilaha illa Allah
A shadu la ilaha illa Allah

We will not go down (Song for Gaza)



Song For GAZA (lyric by michael heart)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Sami Yusuf - Forever Palestine



Mother don’t cry for me I am heading off to war
God almighty is my armour and sword
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children being killed for throwing stones in the sky
They say to their parents don’t worry, God is on our side
Palestine, Forever Palestine
Mother don’t worry when they come for us at night
Surely they’ll be sorry when God puts them right
Tell me why they’re doing what was done to them
Don’t they know that God is with the oppressed and needy
Perished were the nations that ruled through tyranny
Palestine, Forever Palestine


Children of Palestine are fighting for their lives
They say to their parents we know that Palestine is our right
They to say to their parents we’ll fight for what is right
They say not to worry God is on our side
They say we’ll die for Palestine
Palestine, Forever Palestine

The Nightwatchman - One Man Revolution

Harrowdown Hill je mjesto, šuma, u okrugu Oxforshire, gdje je nađeno tijelo Dr. Davida Kelly-a, britanskog naučnika koji je progovorio o lažima Tony Blaira u vezi nepronalaska iračkog kemijskog oružja što je i bio povod invaziji na Irak. Thom Yorke, veliki kritičar Blairove vlade, svojevremeno je i odbio da se sretne sa Blairom razočaran njegovom nezainteresiranošću za probleme klimatskih promjena. Kontroverzna sudbina dr. Kelly-a ( Did I fall or was I pushed? ), nepravedni pritisak kojemu je bio izložen ( I can't take their pressure, No one cares if you live or die, They just want me gone, They want me gone ) potakli su Thoma da napiše pjesmu koju sam označava kao " the most angry song I've ever written in my life" . Pjesmu je napisao za vrijeme snimanja Hail To The Thief albuma ali nije želio da je snimi Radiohead, vjerovatno zabrinut za moguće posljedice.

ja mnogo volim jednu "politicku" od U2,
mnogo bezobrazan onaj mali Bono Outside, is Americaaaaa

Bullet The Blue Sky

In the howlin' wind
Comes a stingin' rain
See it drivin' nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain.

From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Runnin' scared in the valley below.

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and hum.
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome.

You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire.
We see them burnin' crosses
See the flames, higher and higher.

Woh, woh, bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky

Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peelin' off those dollar bills
(Slappin' 'em down)
One hundred, two hundred.

And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the tin huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street.
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan.
Outside, is America
Outside, is America
America.

See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
Howlin' the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America.
