Sons and daughters of a dream
The urge to struggle for an ideal
To stay and fight
Oppose war fever
Refuse to kill or be killed
There's voices calling in the wind and they sing
"power to the peaceful"
With a readiness of all forms
Blood hard on dissent
Has swept the country & militarism
There's voices calling in the wind
"power to the peaceful"
This is not a war
Of the urging people
This is not a war
Of economic independence
It is a war of conquest
Its a war for money
The road to universal slaughter
Check this out
There's repression and intolerance
On any deviation from the norm
In all factions of your life
At this time of entry
Into war say hey-hey
If you know what they sing say hey-hey
If you know what they sing say hey-hey
If you know what they sing say hey-hey-hey
Power to the peaceful-whoa-oh

    Isn't killing the killers a little hypocritical? Or am I just missing something?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
