Samo Rata Da Ne Bude (So long as there is no war), a song by George Balasevic.The song was an urge to the people of Yugoslavia by the popular singer of Serbia not to go to war. He begins by showing a haunting picture of nationalism and war: "Drunk boys march down our lonely streets, behind them follow weeping girls. Don't you know? They are headed for the army. Just let there be no war". He uses extreme examples of possibilities to imply "Even if the worst of the worst could happen, its still better than war".The song ends with a chorus of Children: "Just so long as there is no war -- madness between men (Ludila medju Ljudima). Adults tells us false tales, they scare us with monsters and destroy our failry-tales. Just let there be no war".The urges went unheeded, Balasevic was strongly condemned for his anti-war songs and threatened repeatedly by both the pro-war Milosevic government and by the nationalists. 200,000 people payed for this.The chorus between verses:(Translation)"You know what:let the sea immerse all,let the glaciers break up,all eternal snows melt down.So what?Let the rains never stop,let the thunders become insane,only that there's no war.You know what:let the time reverse,let the stars upset,let the mountains run.So what?Let the winds become crazy,let the vulcanoes wake.Only that there's no war."
