Anti - Vietnam song

Hello everyone, in social studies, we are learning about the Vietnam war and most of the Americans didn't join the war and just want peace. We have to pick a song and we have to know the meaning behind the song. 

Most of the people in America was against the war. They invited people who are against the war and gather to have 3-days of peace where they make music and just have fun without war and people dying. 

Here is the song I picked: 

Title: Give peace a chance

By: John Lenon

The song/lyrics are about the anti-war movement. This song is basically telling that they just want peace and fighting or joining the war is useless. They put a lot of effort to promote 'World peace' and they got the media attention which was a successful promotion of the cause.

Lyrics:

Ev'rybody's talking about

This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
