war

• edwin starr versiyonunun sözlerini kimse yazmamış ayıptır yazıktır buyrun buradan:
  
  war, huh, yeah
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  uh-huh
  war, huh, yeah
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  say it again, y'all
  
  war, huh, good god
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  listen to me
  
  ohhh, war, i despise
  because it means destruction
  of innocent lives
  
  war means tears
  to thousands of mothers eyes
  when their sons go to fight
  and lose their lives
  
  i said, war, huh
  good god, y'all
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  say it again
  
  war, whoa, lord
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  listen to me
  
  war, it ain't nothing
  but a heartbreaker
  war, friend only to the undertaker
  ooooh, war
  it's an enemy to all mankind
  the point of war blows my mind
  war has caused unrest
  within the younger generation
  induction then destruction
  who wants to die
  aaaaah, war-huh
  good god y'all
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  say it, say it, say it
  war, huh
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  listen to me
  
  war, huh, yeah
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  uh-huh
  war, huh, yeah
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  say it again y'all
  war, huh, good god
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  listen to me
  
  war, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
  war, it's got one friend
  that's the undertaker
  ooooh, war, has shattered
  many a young mans dreams
  made him disabled, bitter and mean
  life is much to short and precious
  to spend fighting wars these days
  war can't give life
  it can only take it away
  
  ooooh, war, huh
  good god y'all
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  say it again
  
  war, whoa, lord
  what is it good for
  absolutely nothing
  listen to me
  
  war, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
  war, friend only to the undertaker
  peace, love and understanding
  tell me, is there no place for them today
  they say we must fight to keep our freedom
  but lord knows there's got to be a better way
  
  ooooooh, war, huh
  good god y'all
  what is it good for
  you tell me
  say it, say it, say it, say it
  
  war, huh
  good god y'all
  what is it good for
  stand up and shout it
  nothing

• şimdi çıkıp da bu filmin senaryosuna "ıyy iğrenç bok gibi" demek bence çok mantıklı bir çıkış olmayacaktır, hatta türüne göre iyi bile sayılabilir. zaten jason statham'ın oynadığı vurdulu kırdılı aksiyon filmlerini bilenler aşağı yukarı ne ile karşılacaklarını bileceklerdir. ayrıca oh jet li yirim diye yaklaşan kişiler de işin içinde bol uçan tekme abartı uzak doğu dövüşü olacağını da kestirmelidir bana kalırsa. şimdi eldeki malzeme bu, hatta filmin konusunda yazan "japon mafyası, fbi, eski partner, polis, jason statham" kelimelerini görenler de filmin amacını anlayabilirler. buna rağmen yine de yüksek standartlarla yaklaştığınız zaman "bu ne lan" demeniz çok doğal olur. ama "ulen şunlar bir dövüşsün birbirini vursun kafamız dağılsın" modunda izlerseniz gayet yerinde olacaktır. sonu iyi bile bence.

  until the philosophy
  which hold one race superior
  and another inferior
  is finally
  and permanently
  discredited
  and abandoned
  everywhere is war
  
  me say war.

• bob marley, haile selassie'nin 1963teki birleşmiş millet oturumunda yaptığı konuşmadan esinlenerek yazdığı parça. konuşmanın şarkıya verdiği ilham kısmı aşağıdadır:
  
  "last may, in addis ababa, i convened a meeting of heads of african states and governments. in three days, the thirty-two nations represented at that conference demonstrated to the world that when the will and the determination exist, nations and peoples of diverse backgrounds can and will work together. in unity, to the achievement of common goals and the assurance of that equality and brotherhood which we desire. on the question of racial discrimination, the addis ababa conference taught, to those who will learn, this further lesson:
  that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; that until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; that until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained; and until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in angola, in mozambique and in south africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed; until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will; until all africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of heaven; until that day, the african continent will not know peace. we africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil."

  sözleri:
  
  do you remember standing on a broken field
  white crippled wings beating the sky
  the harbingers of war with their nature revealed
  and our chances flowing by
  
  if i can let the memory heal
  i will remember you with me on that field
  
  when i thought that i fought this war alone
  you were there by my side on the frontline
  when i thought that i fought without a cause
  you gave me a reason to try
  
  turn the page i need to see something new
  for now my innocence is torn
  we cannot linger on this stunted view
  like rabid dogs of war
  
  i will let the memory heal
  i will remember you with me on that field
  
  when i thought that i fought this war alone
  you were there by my side on the frontline
  and we fought to believe the impossible
  when i thought that i fought this war alone
  we were one with our destinies entwined
  when i thought that i fought without a cause
  you gave me the reason why
  
  with no-one wearing their real face
  it's a whiteout of emotion
  and i've only got my brittle bones to break the fall
  
  when the love in letters fade
  it's like moving in slow motion
  and we're already too late if we arrive at all
  
  and then we're caught up in the arms race
  an involuntary addiction
  and we're shedding every value our mothers taught
  
  so will you please show me your real face
  draw the line in the horizon
  cos i only need your name to call the reasons why i fought
  
  when i thought that i fought this war alone...
