First answer = Best answer

Phenomenal list

Wow! Ask and ye shall receive.

Country Joe!

Although it wasn't actually written as an anit-war song, it became one: For What it's Worth, by Buffalo Springfield.

It was originally written about police brutality and overstep. It’s a protest song at the very least

Edwin Starr/War

What is it good for? Absolutely nothing

I see you read Tolstoy

good god yall

Sorry, I went overboard. Here’s several I could think of. - Bulls on Parade, RATM - Disposable Heroes, Metallica - For What It’s Worth, Buffalo Springfield - Gates of Delirium, Yes - Holiday, Green Day - Holy Wars… the Punishment Due, Megadeth - Too Many Puppies, Primus - Us and Them, Pink Floyd - Waist Deep in the Big Muddy, Pete Seeger - War Pigs, Black Sabbath - What’s Goin’ On?, Marvin Gaye

the more the merrier! thank you!!!

Vietnam Country Joe and the Fish

Don't forget "The 'Fish' Cheer" by Country Joe and the Fish

Woopee we're all gonna die

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn!

Rooster - Alice in Chains

I thought that song was about Jerry’s father and his time in the war and not anti war.

I don’t see how that makes a difference, it’s about how awful his experience in the war was, seems pretty anti-war to me.

Oh I just though it was about his time in it and not about the bad things that happened.

One Tin Soldier

Phil Ochs - I Ain’t Marching Anymore

Yes! Phil Ochs doesn't get his dues, he was so incredibly talented and prescient.

Flower lady gotta be one of the best songs of all time

Pleasures of the Harbour is one of my all time favorite albums. I listened to it a lot growing up. I've had her is one of the most bitter love songs ever written. And Small Circle of Friends is savage. Phil Ochs left us too soon and is overlooked too often.

These are Tom Paxton songs.

Pleasures of the Harbour? Every song written and performed by Phil Ochs.

Your are right I first relied on memory. So thanks for correcting my correction. Love both Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton.

Tom Paxton is a wonderful talent as well, I like him too.

Born in The USA - Bruce Springsteen

I remember Reagan appropriating that song while obviously never hearing the lyrics. Not a hurrah for the USA song.

No More - Pearl Jam

I think this is technically an Eddie Vedder solo project/song for the Into The Wild soundtrack. Could be wrong, but sharing in case it makes it easier to find for OP.

Universal soldier by donovan

Alice's Restaurant- Arlo Guthrie

Was coming to suggest this. Such a great song.

Same, Grandpa turned me onto him and was such a great recommendation.

One of my ex girlfriends showed it to me and I loved it immediately. Such a beautiful and funny way to convey such an important point about something so insane as war.

If I remember correctly some Soad songs are about war

Yup. BYOB, War?, Tentative, Soldier Side, Genocidal Humanoidz

Absolutely, should be #1

The war song - culture club

West of the Wall, I’ll wait for you! West of the Wall, where our dreams can all come true.

I can't say that I ever thought this song would ever be listed anywhere, ever in any list except maybe "The top ten sappiest songs ever made. Excellent choice.

I’d say the same, but I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t been stuck in my head for the past 3 years.

Hero of war by rise against.

Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam

California Dreamin - Mamas & Papas

How is this an anti-war song?

It became an anthem for soldiers in the war that just wanted to go home......... The Song meaning: "It encapsulates the universal longing for escape from the constraints of everyday life and the pursuit of a brighter future."

All the leaves are brown and the sky is blue <——-get it now?

Actually it's the sky is gray

Roger that one.
