GUEST,Suzi Z Have anti-war songs changed anything? (108* d) RE: Have anti-war songs changed anything? 23 Sep 09


This may not be the greatest...but taste is always subjective
Song by Ron Trueman-Border...

Folk Alley for the music
PRISONER OF WAR Key of D Capo 2nd
C G C F
There are no chains about our ankles. No shackles on our hands
C G/B Am Am/G F G
They say we're free to wander through these God forsaken lands
C G C F
Ah but freedom's just a word boys it does'nt mean that much anymore
C G/B Am Am/G F G C G
Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war

They say the times are changing but time is standing still
In the ghettoes, in the killing fields the same blood's being spilled
And it flows down like a river and floods the jail-house floor
Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war
C G C F
CHORUS; Everywhere I look now from sea to shining shore
C G/B Am Am/G F G C G
Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war

They tell us they'll move mountains all in the name of peace
They say they'll strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
But their lies are only whispers lost beneath the cannon's roar
Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war

The mother and the daughter, the father and the son
Each generation lives in fear of the soldier and the gun
It's the same the whole world over and shall be evermore
Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war

CHORUS;

Pour down your bombs and missiles. Pour down you acid rain
We live under their shadow now and forever must remain
At the mercy of the tyrant, abiding by the mad man's laws
Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war
