Reception
In 2003, the New Internationalist described the song as "the anthem of a new generation of anti-war protesters", praising its "stirring chorus" and its "coda ready-made for marching".[2] In 2015, however, the Chicago Tribune called it "a lighthearted, mid-tempo pop song that recalls Bob Marley and Johnny Nash."[3]

gollark: Yes, the openstreetmaps page says so.
