Anti Vietnam War Song

 Kia ora bloggers this past two days in Social Studies we were learning about the Vietnam war, and songs that were written by the artist that played in Woodstock. These songs were written because many people around the world are against the war. 

There are lots of songs to choose from but I choose the song "Give Peace a Chance". This song is an antiwar song, and it was written by John Lennon. In my understanding, he is saying that the Vietnam war should stop and spread peace, and not war because everybody is against it. Everybody is talking about a lot of stuff but the only thing that he and many people wanted to be heard is to give peace a chance and stop the war.

Here is the full lyrics of the song: 

Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
