Eve of destruction (songs about war )

one tin soldier. i forget the name of whoever did it. some time back in the 60s or 70s. somebody more recently made a video, but like most music videos it totally fucked up what was to me the imagery of the song.

and then of course there was earth, wind and fire's; "war".

and of course dillan's universal soldier.

i guess my kind of 'war songs' are what you would call 'war protest' songs.
