Songs from a bit ago that really apply now.
"Land of Confusion" Genesis

"Living on the Edge" Aerosmith

"For What it's Worth" Buffalo Springfield.

Many more from the Vietnam era, for sure.

2. "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.
The song was about Vietnam, but it's just as eerily comparative to the war in Iraq today.

7. Jackson Browne's "Lives In the Balance"....
Edited on Fri May-12-06 09:42 PM by Jade Fox
is uncannily relevant 20 years later.

Also from that same album: "Soldier of Plenty" and "For America"
