The fugs were a great sixties band. They fought for sexual liberation and peace and somehow combined the two into anarchic mayhem.
Their satirical songs combined theatre and politics. They took on the establishment and epitomised the sixties ‘can do’ culture. We had them scared for a while. We changed the world but we were ultimately bought out and sold down the river.
This song is as fresh today as it was nearly fifty years ago!!
How times and bullets fly!
Kill For Peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
near or middle or very far East
kill, kill, kill for peace
near or middle or very far East
far or near or very middle East
kill, kill, kill for peace
if you don’t like the people or the way that they talk
if you don’t like their manners or the way that they walk
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
if you don’t kill them then the Chinese will
if you don’t want America to play second fiddle
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
if you let them live they may subvert the Prussians
if you let them live they might love the Russians
kill, kill, kill!
kill ’em! kill ’em! strafe them gook creeps!
the only gook an American can trust
is a gook that’s got his yellow head bust
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, it will feel so good
like my captain said it should
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, it will give you a mental ease
kill, it will give you a big release
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill, kill, kill for peace
kill! kill! kill! kill! kill!
Reblogged this on Opher's World and commented:
Kill for peace. Perhaps it is time all the religious fanatics – both the Islamic extremists with their unjustified Jihad and the Christian fundamentalists with their bloodthirsty wish to pick up a gun and blow people to hell, started to read the texts of their religious books and see that peace, harmony and love are the basic messages. I don’t need a religion to tell me what’s right and wrong. I don’t need to carefully select my texts to vindicate evil.
