Could we get a thread going of political and anti-war music suggestions?

25. The Ballad of Penny Evans

And now every month I get a check from an Army bureaucrat
And it's every month I tear it up and I mail the damn thing back
Do you think that makes it all right? Do you think I'd fall for that?
And you can keep your bloody money: it sure won't bring my Billy back

I never cared for politics, and speeches I don't understand
And likewise never took no charity from any living man
But tonight there's fifty thousand gone in that unhappy land
And fifty thousand Heart-and-Souls being played with just one hand

And my name is Penny Evans and I've just gone twenty-one
A young widow in the war that's being fought in Viet Nam
And I have two infant daughters and I thank God I have no son
Now they say the war is over but I think it's just begun

-- Steve Goodman
