I thought the lyrics in this song, Masters of War, were particularly moving.
I printed them out and just read them for a while and it feels like Bob Dylan wrote these today about the war in Iraq.
Politicians call all the shots and make our soldiers do the dirty work.
Is it too far fetched to compare communism with terrorism, or not at all? We thought communism would take over the world and now we think terrorists will take over the world with fear. Because of the fears of 'you that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks' countless men and women are sent to loose their lives
I think what makes this album so great is that it can be connected to us today in 2007, but the lyrics aren't wishy-washy - they are specific and direct but we can still connect to them. Pretty Cool.
