It was the aftermath of WW2 and everyone was depressed. This John Lennon song in the 1960s was about the chorus which was echoed around the world and it became the most popular chant of the anti-Vietnam War movement. The sentiment is both clever and simple. This song quickly became the anthem of the anti-war movement as many Americans felt the country should not be fighting in Vietnam. On October 15, 1969, a multi-city demonstration called The Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, took place, with protesters singing this song in mass.
Whereas todays present day song had to do with a balanced look at tensions between police and minorities.Both songs have different aspects and reasons behind them leading to different time periods.With lines like “The banker man said ‘Sorry, son, it’s all gone’” and “I don’t know where I’m going to sleep tonight,” it’s terrifyingly deft at taking apart short-term greed at the cost of the common good: “Big limousine, long shiny and black / you don’t look ahead, you don’t look back.”
