How about Toby Keith's "Boot Up Your Ass"?
Anyone remember " The Big Muddy " ? ( " and still the old fool goes on..." )
Does "Guerilla Radio" by Rage Against the Machine count as an anti-war song.....
How about "The Star-Spangled Banner"?
Barry McGuire: Eve of destruction -
knew a woman called Eve great lyric a few of us used to sing to her - you don't believe you're on (the) eve of destruction.
"16 Military Wives" - The Decemberists
"Civil War" by G'nR.
Or how about "TV Party" by black flag.
"Disposable Heroes" by Metallica.
It's a classic.
"You will die when I say you must die...
Get back to the front!"
THE GENERAL by O.A.R.
Here are a few goodies:
Two Suns in the Sunset, Pink Floyd
Masters of War, bob
Amused to Death, Roger Waters
Plenty more good ones where those came from.
War Pigs (that's you Bush, Cheney and Osama)
Did anyone watch the video!?
The General is by Dispatch not OAR, but it is a great anti-war song.
I did-pretty good satirical humor

Maybe if your an ignorant redneck asshole.
911 for peace
hymn for the dead
from her lips to god's ears
blood red, white, and blue
to the world
save the humain
That is the worst video I've ever seen in my life. Disregarding the subject matter, it is worthless. I have made better songs while drunk.
As for war songs, my vote goes to Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (Toby Keith) or The Fightin' Side of Me (Merle Haggard)
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
