I think you have all missed the point of the song. Feel free to correct me if I have missed something. This to me is one of the greatest Peace Songs ever! No Actions just keep singing...

The Grand Old Duke of York,
He had Ten Thousand Men
He marched Them up to the Top of the Hill
And He marched Them down again.

When They were Up They were Up
When They were Down They were Down
And When They were only Half-Way Up
They were Neither Up nor Down!

Over and over again till they get the point
