Peter Gabriel, Games without Frontiers, in Peter Gabriel, 1980
testo di Peter Gabriel

Jeux sans frontieres Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside Whistling tunes we’re kissing baboons in the jungle It’s a knockout If looks could kill, they probably will In games without frontiers-war without tears Games without frontiers-war without tears Jeux sans frontieres Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching’s is blue They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle It’s a knockout If looks could kill they probably will

In games without frontiers-wars without tears If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers-war without tears Games without frontiers-war without tears Jeux sans frontieres

The Clash, Washington Bullets, in Sandinista!, 1980
testo di Joe Strummer

Oh! Mama, Mama look there! Your children are playing in that street again Don’t you know what happened down there? A youth of fourteen got shot down there The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town The killing clowns, the blood money men Are shooting those Washington bullets again As every cell in Chile will tell The cries of the tortured men Remember Allende, and the days before, Before the army came Please remember Victor Jara, In the Santiago Stadium, Es verdad – those Washington Bullets again And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961, Havana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun, For Castro is a colour, Is a redder than red, Those Washington bullets want Castro dead For Castro is the colour… …That will earn you a spray of lead For the very first time ever, When they had a revolution in Nicaragua, There was no interference from America Human rights in America Well the people fought the leader,

And up he flew… With no Washington bullets what else could he do? ’N’ if you can find a Afghan rebel That the Moscow bullets missed Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist… …Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet, How many monks did the Chinese get? In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary, ’N’ check the British bullets in his armoury Que? Sandinista!

Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Two tribes, in Welcome to the Pleasuredome, 1984
testo di Peter Gill, Holly Johnson, Mark O’Toole

The air attack warning sounds like. This is the sound. When you hear the air attack warning, You and your family must take cover Love’s gone, oh When two tribes go to war One is all that you can score (Score no more, score no more) When two tribes go to war One is all that you can score (Workin’ for the black mask) When two tribes go to war One is all that you can score (Score no more, score no more) When two tribes go to war One is all that you can score (Workin’ for the black mask) Comrad number one A born again poor man’s son (Poor man’s son) On the air America I modeled shirts for Van Heusen (Workin’ for the black mask) Switch up your shield Switch up and feel I’m walkin’ out, lover hey I’m givin’ you back a good time I’m shippin’ out, out I’m workin’ for the black mask

Tell the world that you’re winning Nothin’ life, nothin’ life Listen to the voice sayin’ follow me When two tribes go to war One is all that you can score When two tribes go to war One is all that you can score You’ve got two tribes (We got to part, we got to part) Somethin’ this good died (Are we living in a land where sex and Horror are the new gods?) When two tribes go to war One point is all that you can score

Genesis, Land of confusion, in Invisible Touch, 1986
testo di Mike Rutherford

I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams I can hear the marching feet They’re moving into the street. Now did you read the news today They say the danger’s gone away But I can see the fire’s still alight Burning into the night. Too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can’t you see This is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we’re given Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth living in. Superman where are you now When everything’s gone wrong somehow The men of steel, men of power Are losing control by the hour. This is the time This is the place So we look for the future But there’s not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we’re given Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth living in. I remember long ago When the sun was shining The stars were bright All through the night

And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago I won’t be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We’re not just making promises That we know, we’ll never keep. Too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can’t you see This is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we’re given Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth fighting for. This is the world we live in And these are the names we’re given Stand up and let’s start showing Just where our lives are going to.
