    "Sweet Cherry Wine" - Tommy James & the Shondellsb,121"God Bless America" - Swamp Doggb,121b,121Neither one of these songs is SOLELY about war, but do include antiwar verses. And, no, Swamp Dogg's song is NOT the Irving Berlin standard...

    Redgum - I was only 19, and the Herd version of it is pretty sharp also.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121with added bonus points for marketing people who try to flip the words of the first verse in the song as a "USA#1" type song...

    Funk Inc. >> Give Peace a Chance. And the cover version Build An Ark did with that song w/ Dwight Trible is good as well.b,121 b,121The members of the afro band the Funkees were former child soldiers. This adds weight to the title of one of there albums: Now I'm A Man. The song on that LP that screams in pain War Sucks is called Patience, sad sh*t.

    Damn! We forgot one of the best. b,121Imagine - John Lennon Good cover versions too, I like Eva Cassidy. More of a Peace is good than a war sucks song I guess. b,121b,121Also Lennon's Working Class Hero, I much prefer Marianne Faithfuls version. b,121b,121Bob Marley - Redemption Song
