Annotation
Frank Lewis, Sydney-based folk rock artist, released the song "Year of War" (Festival Records # FK-3116), which contained a generic anti-war, anti-atomic message, released during the Vietnam War-era. The narrator noted that World War One came and went, and that people hoped that war would not come again: "1914 year of war... war like this won't come again". However, the wars keeps coming, and with the atomic bomb, "you won't even know its been".
