Thread Name: World War I and II Protest songs
Subject: RE: World War 1 and 2 Protest songs
Browned Off by Ewan MacColl. Written in 1940 when he was called up and still known as Jimmy Miller. It is an ordinary soldier's song of dissatisfaction with army life - Pissed Off would be a modern equivalent of the title, I think.
