2015's Song of the Year

Though it came out in July of 2006, The Ballet's "I Hate The War" stands as the song of 2015.




Nine years after the song was released -- and with the never-ending Iraq War still going -- verses like the following ring especially true:







What I'm trying to say is
It's time 
To get in the way
It's crazy 
That this thing is still going on
I can't believe
This thing's still going on 
And it goes
Na na na na na na 
I hate the war
Na na na na na na 
I hate the war
Na na na na na na
I hate the war

















-- "I Hate The War" (written by Greg Goldberg, on The Ballet's Mattachine!)
