Do You Hear What I Hear (1962) - performed live by William Patrick Corgan (2021)

2021-12-23T17:19:32.831Z

It was the Cuban missile crisis that motivated Mr. Regney to write the words of ''Do You Hear What I Hear?'' The sight of small children and the ominous signs of war inspired him to compose the words ''Pray for peace, people everywhere.'' They appear in the last of the carol's four stanzas.

Reflecting on the meaning and popularity of that carol and current trends in contemporary popular culture, Mr. Regney said, ''I am amazed that people can think they know the song - and not know it is a prayer for peace. But we are so bombarded by sound and our attention spans are so short that we now listen only to catchy beginnings.''

Pink Floyd cover - The Dogs of War | MusicOff Talent Show - Pink Noise

2020-06-16T03:17:51.168Z

from "Momentary Lapse of Reason" album (1987)

Lyrics:

Pink Floyd - The Dogs Of War
Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world

The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world
