I was just doing some research here, and ran across this thread. I had the same idea some time ago:

ANOTHER WAR RAGES ("The Cruel War Is Raging"—Traditional)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huATREpHkQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6Ah0fan9B4

Another war rages
In some foreign land.
My Jason's been summoned
To join their command.
My Jason's been summoned—
He could tell them No.
"Stay and build a life with me."
"No, I must go."

"They might call you 'coward,'
May mock and accuse,
But it's much more courageous
To stand and refuse.
It's much more courageous
To buck the status quo—
Stay and build a life with me."
"No, I must go."

"There's no direct threat,
No peace that you can win—
Politicians deceive you
To lure voters in.
The system deceived you—
This isn't your fight!
Stay and build a life with me."
"Maybe you're right."

"My Jason, dear Jason,
You're gentle, kind, and wise.
Don't risk your—no, our future
For their petty lies.
Resist for our future—
I feel your bravery grow!
Stay, and build a life with me."
"Yes, I'll say No."

The grid's no place for those
Who won't be controlled.
I've heard their names mentioned
In tales rebels told.
I've heard their names mentioned—
Did they, do you suppose,
Build a free life together?
Nobody knows.
