HIGH QUALITY ANTIWAR MUSIC! MP3s, streaming or submit your own [View All]

[Jeffersons Ghost]

This may be the most powerful media you've ever heard

The Peace Jukebox plays hours of anti-war music for free. Songs written during the Bush Presidency can be heard as high-quality MP3s, with lyrics, on this ad-free independent website. The Peace Jukebox features anti-war songs by Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, Public Enemy, Jane's Addiction, The Cure, Ani DiFranco, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Faithless, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Lenny Kravitz, Paris, System of a Down, Propagandhi, Banco de Gaia, Zach de la Rocha, Noam Chomsky... hiphop, rock, punk, acoustic, classical and spoken word.

This is fast becoming the most prolific period of protest song-writing in history, as home-studio technology makes it possible for the world to hear hot new radical songs Clear-Channel will not play. The Peace Not War Music Project recently received over 500 anti-war songs from several different kinds of musicians, and they claim "ALL" of them will go online. This media is high-quality stereo if you have high-speed. From what I see at the site, we can help in this effort, even if it's only by spreading the word.

Here.s lyrics to one of the songs:

VOICES OF A FUTURE

political rhetoric: I know it is all lies
doublespeak duplicity
you can read it in the eyes
see the silver plated
squirming of the tongue
some sycophant, a corporate slave
announces we will bomb
you feed the world with little wars
by selling tyrants arms
as long as they are subservient
how could there be qualms?
customers must not fight back
what happens when they do?
spin a tale of right and wrong
and gloss over the truth
visions and voices of a better world
war no more
voices of a future speak

twisted lies from puppet lips
TV, papers, spread the fear
it's all sewn up, but listen in
voices of a future are near
as long as no-one knows
or doesn't dare to ask
a silver tongue says what it likes
but voices crack the mask
should these voices speak to you
do you think that you might hear
and if these words might make a thread
then know that hope is near
for a facade does not last for long
tyrants fall that's all
voices of a future speak
and to our souls they call
visions and voices of a better world
war no more
voices of a future speak
