"War Song" is a 1972 single credited to Neil Young & Graham Nash. It was released in support of presidential candidate George McGovern's campaign, who was running against then-president Richard Nixon. Young had already voiced his opinions of Nixon two years prior with "Ohio" while a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash and once again tried to make an impact with a protest song. Despite his intentions, the single failed to make a serious impression. The single itself would soon go out of print and remains unreleased in any other format today. However it is still relatively available on P2P networks.
