9-11 and Iraq, No Connnection
Don't Attack

1-2-3-4
We don't want another war
5-6-7-8
Stop the Killing, Stop the hate

No Blood for Oil
Stop the War on Iraq!

Hey hey, ho ho
War on Iraq? We say no!

George Bush, hear our cry
No more innocent civilians should die!

If Bush and Cheney start a war,
we won't vote for them no more!

If Bush and Cheney attack Iraq,
we will take this country back.

Not another war for oil,
No more deaths on foreign soil.

Stock market's down
So you want war
What do you take us for?

SONG FOR PEACE
a peace parody
Tune: the melody of the German WWII Song "Lili Marlen" as sung in the US by Marlene Dietrich.

Bombs and grenades upon Vietnam did fall.
Americans learned nothing, and that concerns us all.
We flew away to a distant land,
Where oil lies deep under the sand.
That's what's in Bush's head, that's what's in Bush's head.

Gone are the traces of little Ho Chi Minh,
Saddam is now the villain, we hope that we can win.
We flew away to a distand land,
Where oil lies deep under the sand.
That's Bush's only thought, that's Bush's only thought.

Deep within his shadow there is his friend Sharon.
They loved each other dearly, and they produced a son.
The son's name is Methusalem,
He knows ONLY ONE JERUSALEM,
But Bush loves only oil, but Bush loves only oil.

The mother of all battles is now at our door.
We shall not disregard her and cannot rest before,
We have each done our utmost best,
To see all weapons put to rest.
Wtih Busharon both gone, with Busharon both gone.

Christmas Carols

FBI IS ALL OVER TOWN
(Tune: Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
Brought to you by the RAGING GRANNIES, sponsored by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Peninsula Branch

You'd better watch out
You'd better comply
You'd better not doubt
I'm telling you why
The FBI is all over town
They're making a list
Checking it twice
Going to find out
Each habit and vice
The FBI is all over town.
They know with whom you're sleeping
And eery move you make
They know if you've been bad or good
So be good for the nation state!
You'd better not speak
They're tapping the phone
They're working all week
With a microphone
The FBI is all over town.

Brought to you by the women's peace vigil and Code Pink:

TO THE TUNE OF SILENT NIGHT
Bomb Iraq
Let's attack
Take over their soil
Cause we need their oil
We're sorry if women and children get killed
But the gas tanks on our SUVs must be filled
Bomb Iraq to pieces
Bomb Iraq for peace.

Bomb Iraq
Let's attack
All will be calm
Once we take out Saddam
They sure as hell better not put up a fight
Cause driving SUVs is our God-given right
Bomb Iraq to pieces
Bomb Iraq for peace.

TO THE TUNE OF JINGLE BELLS
Jingle bombs
Jingle bombs
Jingle all the way
Disobey the USA
We'll blow you all away, hey!

Let's make war
Let's make war
Let's invade Iraq
Take the money from the poor
We need it to attack

Who needs health care
Screw the homeless
Take their rights away
If we can get Iraqi oil
It's worth the price we pay.

Jingle bombs,
Jingle bombs,
Jingle all the way,
Disobey
the USA,
We'll blow you away, hey!

TO THE TUNE OF OH COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
O Come all ye sissies
Let's get them Iraqis
Let's blow them to smithereens
Cause might makes right.

Who needs the world community
Our soldiers have immunity
And we act with impunity
Cause might makes right.

Let's start with Iraq
And then go on to Syria
And why not bomb Liberia
And why not bomb Liberia
And why not bomb Liberia
Cause might makes right

TO THE TUNE OF DECK THE HALLS
Kill to fight the war on terror
Fa la la la la la la la
Peaceful means would be an error
Fa la la la la la la la
We saber rattle and we threaten
Fa la la la la la la la
We want war, we hate inspection
Fa la la la la la la la
We will drop the bombs the bomb at night
Fa la la la la la la la
Iraqis will all quake in fright
Fa la la la la la la la
Bright explosions in the sky
Fa la la la la la la la
We can't help if children die
Fa la la la la la la la

NICE CHRISTMAS CAROLS

TO THE TUNE OF SILENT NIGHT
Don't Bomb Iraq
Let's not attack
Don't take over their soil
Cause we need their oil.
We don't want women and children killed
Cause the gas tanks on our SUVs must be filled.
Don't bomb Iraq to pieces
Don't bomb Iraq for peace.

Don't bomb Iraq
Let's not attack
All we be calm
If we don't drop a bomb
Spend more of our money on schools and health
We'll be much safer if we share our wealth.
Don't bomb Iraq to pieces
Don't bomb Iraq for peace.

TO THE TUNE OF JINGLE BELLS
Don't make war
Don't make war
Don't invade Iraq
Use the money for the poor not weapons to attack

Don't drop bombs
Don't drop bombs
Inspections are the way
Let's spread peace around the world
Not blow them all away.

We need healthcare
We need homes
Our liberties have to stay
We don't want a war for oil
It's not worth the price we pay.

TO THE TUNE OF DECK THE HALLS
Don't kill to fight the war on terror
Fa la la la la la la la la
Dropping bombs would be an error
Fa la la la la la la la la
Negotiate instead of threaten
Fa la la la la la la la la
We hate war we want inspection
Fa la la la la la la la la.

Please don't drop the bombs at night
Fa la la la la la la la la
Iraqis should not quake in fright
Fa la la la la la la la la
No explosions in the sky
Fa la la la la la la la la
Children should not have to die
Fa la la la la la la la la

(to the tune of Santa Claus is coming to town)

Oh you better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout I'm telling you why,
Code Pink is coming to town.

We're wearing hot pink
We're saying "don't fight"
We stand up for peace
Cause we think it's right
Code Pink is coming town.

We're mothers and we're daughters
We're sisters and we're aunts
We don't want war we want some peace
We cheer, we sing, we dance.

Oh you better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout I'm telling you why,
Code Pink is coming to town.

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH
(Cam DmG C DmG/C B7 EmB7 G7 Am Em F C/AmD G AmD G)
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be
With one creator, family all are we
Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now
With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

IMAGINE
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
(G-C-G-C/ /C D)

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
Nothin' to kill or die for & no religions too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us & the whole world will live as one
(CHORUS: C D G B7 :/C D G b7 C D G -)

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger nor folk with empty hands
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us & the whole world will live as one
-Lennon

Down in my heart to stay.

More verses (and add your own):
I've got that Peace that passeth understanding…
I see the world living in Peace together…

LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM
Last night I had the strangest dream I'd ever had before
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room, filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said we'd never fight again.

And when the paper was all signed and a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads and grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below were dancing round and round
While swords and guns and uniforms were scattered on the ground.
-Ed McCurdy (C-FC/GemAmDmGC/FCGC)

A'INT GONNA LET NOBODY (Dm/A Dm//A/Dm)
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around
Turn me around, turn me around
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around
I'm gonna keep on a-walkin', keep on a talkin',
Marchin' down to freedom land
