How do Come Together,Free as a bird and Yer Blues have anything to do with world peace? Also Revolution 1 and Revolution are the same song

Come together is about the Vietnam war.  Here let me Rephrase this " Do any song about the Vietnam war or World Peace And Revolution 1 is a bit slower Free as a bird and Yer Blues Just sound like a Peace or Vietnam war song
 

Revolution and Rev. 1 have the same lyrics so it doesn't count as separate Peace songs. Free as a Bird was written in 1977, post Vietnam, in a time of world peace, and Yer Blues is a song about his loneliness and angst.

Give Peace A Chance – not necessarily a great song, but a song that had a lot of impact then and still resonates now.

Working Class Hero – "as soon as your born, they make you feel small." I think this song proves how sharp John's mind was more than almost any other song he ever did.

Imagine – Working Class Hero with "sugar on top".

Revolution 1 – very campy, hippie type song.

Cold Turkey – definitely not a "peace song", but if I ever had any ambition to try heroin, this song definitely put that to rest, so I think the message of this song is as important as any of his others.

Other good ones – Power to the People, All You Need is Love, Happy Xmas. I especially like Happy Xmas because, like John said, it gives you something to think about during the holidays other than presents and Santa and the whole corporate charade of the holiday season. And the song's message still rings true, we still have wars raging on everywhere with no real end in sight.
