I Don't Want To Be A Soldier (original album) / John Lennon

[Zebonka]

My new walking-in-town music.

[juarjum]

hypnotic groove

[samusic160]

I find it sadly ironic that their is a 'shoot the soldier' game advert on the side of a song that says 'i don't want to be a soldier', how sad :(.

[KoolIsKeith]

I could hear the Black Keys covering this song.

[mezzetin1]

@KoolIsKeith

lets hope not.

[JHULIOCFR1975]

ESTA CANCIÓN ES FANTÁSTICA. JOHN SE LUCIÓ CON ESTA JOYA. LA MÚSICA Y LA LETRA LO DICEN TODO. ¿PARA QUÉ YA COMENTAR ALGO??. ESPECTACULAR...

[TuneIn2JulieTube]

AMAZING!

[ralucagymnast]

Tuneage. Amazing track.

[wikkid61]

Play it LOUD.

[TuneIn2JulieTube]

@wikkid61 HELL YEAH!!!

[shirin2556]

@UndergroundRelapse - less than 1% fight, kill, murder, are maimed, suffer all their lives now efforts to cut their benefits. 1% enjoys all the security of their riches protected by the sacrifice of so few, top 5% control 80% or more of the wealth and means of production a disparity never seen in modern times not the G-20 or G-8. Possibly 70 million living in poverty - no empire has survived with a concentration of power/wealth in so few – all empires fail same pattern the same end result.

[LegendKnight93]

@persevere4 If the top 5% of Americans control 805 of America's wealth, why are'nt the toher 95% homeless poor people on the streets? 

[wbooker10]

@LegendKnight93  you are a fool , so sad

[luvtotruck]

I AM GONNA MAKE SOME MAD HERE OH WELL. PAUL WROTE HITS AND JOHN WROTE SONGS. THIS IS ONE DEEP FUCKIN GROOVE. HE GETS KING CURTIS TO PLAY SAX AND THAT ERIE RIFF ON BOTTLENECK SLIDE I THOUGHT WAS RY COODER SOUNDS ALMOST AS MENACING AS SISTER MORPHINE HE PLAYED ON STONES BUT AFTER HEARING HOW DO YOU SLEEP AND HOW? WENT AND PURCHASED CD AND FUCK ME IF IT AIN'T GEORGIE HIMSELF LAYIN DOWN THAT RIFF. WHAT A GREAT ADDITION TO GROWING CD COLLECTION.

[audiojim2hank]

@luvtotruck Good ears!

[Kendallat15]

When I was little, I was taught to not listen to John Lennon, and I listen to him all the time now, I love his music, I plan on naming my child after him, and I look back and wonder, why in the first place would anyone hate him?

[LegendKnight93]

@Kendallat15 I ahte him because he was a pro-viet cong guy

[mezzetin1]

@LegendKnight93

no, merely anti-war. and if you can't get with that, then you got no love for humanity. too bad.

[2012PIOTR]

CLASSIC! d(-_~)b

[SunnyLovetts]

Flower power music without any of the flower!

[LPnRockmusic]

This is one of the few times I like a cover better than the original. Don't get me wrong, this version is great and the cover wouldn't be possible without John. But seriously check out the Layne Staley version of this song!

[NickODU2015]

@LPnRockmusic Yeah I actually prefer the Mad Season version to this one. And this version is amazing itself. That's how good the Mad Season cover is.

[LPnRockmusic]

@NickODU2015 I know eh? PS I realized it was Mad Season not just Layne after I wrote the comment ;D

[golfnike06]

check out the mad season version... badass!!

[drrobertoboogie97]

One of my favorite JL tracks.

[persevere4]

I don’t want to die or kill for Exxon, Cheney (the Dick) Halliburton, KBR, Shell, BP, Standard Oil, and all of the richest corporations in the world let them fight and kill for themselves put their asses on the front lines put a rifle in their money grubbing hands like I and all my buddies had too, YEAH, you get your asses out there and fight you filthy rich cowards and get your sons and daughters out there too, its only FAIR, its only fair

[UndergroundRelapse]

@persevere4 Someone should try to explain you there isn't a draft anymore, so the people out there mainly have no direction in life or just truly want to help their country. And those oil companies give jobs and proper livings to many people, and the reason the spill took so long to clean up is that the government wouldn't let them get oil from where they wanted. So please just be quiet and enjoy the damn song, and stop basing your political views off a musician who never had an actual job.

[persevere4]

@UndergroundRelapse Are you as ignorant as you sound? We need compulsory service so pencil neck geeks as yourself have to fight for your rights to utter your inanities. You, Cheney, Libby, Hannity the fat guy on radio Rush all you slime grab a weapon girly boy and come on to the front and fight you filthy cowards – Fock You - a-holes as you need to be snached from hiding and sent to Afghan ASAP do at least seven tours - Jerk

[UndergroundRelapse]

@persevere4 I don't like any of those people, I'm not a damn Republican, I'm a libertarian. You sound like a stereotypical liberal a.k.a. ignorant, only watches CNN and reads the New York times. I am against a draft, because you know what I don't believe in? Forcing people in our Republic to fight for causes they don't believe in if it has hardly anything to do with the safety of us surviving as a nation. Will I join the military? Probably not, but if it's for the survival of our people, I will.

[beatleboognish69]

Ray Thomas, tambo & flute of Moody Blues, on this track!

[whomitaw]

Mark David Chapman disliked this video.

[glammm25]

[Keyboardman88]

Mike Pinder from the oody Blues is on Tambourine...watch his vids about his life, the Mellotron, etc. Very interesting.

[VinnieG690]

This song is fucking awesome. The guitar and sax parts are fantastic.

[back2realitygal11]

I love how Coldplay used this line in their song Violet Hill after this song.

[wilberswilbers]

The sax player must've spit out a lung after this one!

[Runrome]

[SawyerFly1]

[thetwilightzone100]

Harrison on Guitar

[rarebully]

Yes, probably one of John Lennon's finest moments along with 'Instant Karma' and 'Number 9 Dream' - it is a shame that this number is not included in the standard 'greatest Hits' compilations.

[PearlJammer07]

This song should have been included on the John Lennon Best of.

[siberiacmlp]

and never is included!!!!

[whomitaw]

@PearlJammer07 All his songs should have been included in the Lennon Best of

[cottageorgan]

@whomitaw Go buy the new box set, that'll satisfy you above and beyond while making Yoko even richer!

[JeretLedger1985]

@PearlJammer07 most of his stuff should have been
