Biografia:
Leslie Fish is one of the most notable American filk singers, and along with the DeHorn crew was the first artist to release a commercial filk recording (Folk Songs for Folk Who Ain't Even Been Yet, 1976). Her second album (Solar Sailors, 1977) contained the now infamous song Banned From Argo, the song that has probably inspired the most parodies and varients in all of filkdom. Both of these albums, originally released on vinyl, have recently been re-released on a single CD called Folk Songs for Solar Sailors.

[Verse]
Em A C Em
Two men walked on the beach in the sun
C G A B
One left footprints, the other left none
Em C D B
One was a man that no man obeys;
A D Em
The other a god from the ancient days
Em A D Em
"Look," said the man, "how my kind make war
C G A B
I summonned you here to ask what for."
Em C D B
"For wealth or land," the god replies
Em A C Em
"For life, or freedom, or some king's lies."
[Chorus]

Em D Em
"The sun is also a warrior
G A B
Knowledge can also destroy
G D
Nor can the kindest will
B
Preserve you from the kill
Em D Em
Not all of wisdom brings joy."
[Verse]
Em A D Em
"Four of those five," the first one said
C G A B
Are not enough to appease the dead
Em C D B
To save my world all this strife must cease
Em A Em
So now I bid you to conjure peace."
A D Em
The god said "Yes. Though it grieves me sore
C G A B
For I was also a god of war
Em C D B
And I remember what you forget
Em A D Em
Four of those five you may still regret."
[Chorus]

A D Em
He raised his voice and he raised his hand
C G A B
All strife stopped at the god's command
C D B
No voice ventured an angry word
Em A D Em
No hand struck and no weapon stirred
[Interlude]
Em Em D D Em Em A D Em Em
[Verse]
Em A Em
In time, the man called the old god back
C G A B
"Look," he cried, "what my people lack!
Em C D B
One lord rules over all the earth
Em A D Em
And we're all his slaves from the hour of birth."
[Chorus]

"Look, he owns all wealth, and he owns all land
C A B
We starve and die under his command
Em C D B
He speaks the truth and he gives us peace
Em A D Em
But all that I hope for is our release."
Em A D Em
The old god said, "This is what you willed
C G A B
For only thus is your wish fulfilled
Em D B
War's five sources I took away
Em A Em
Yet I will give four of them back today."

[Verse]
Em A D Em
He raised his hand and his voice once more
C G A B
And all the world overturned in war
Em C D B
And when the last of those fires let fall
Em A D Em
There was no lord in the world at all
A C Em C
"Go rebuild now," the old god said
G A B
"Feed the living and bury the dead
Em C B
And remember this when you speak of war
G A Em
And think upon what is worth fighting for."
