When listening to Dylan’s music you quickly come to see his hate of war, death, big business, and government. In Dylan’s "Hero Blues" (lyrics) he explains doesn’t want to be a soldier or go to war. He shows us this by telling of his girl that wants him to "be a hero." You can almost hear the argument he is having with her. Dylan portrays the girl as selfish for wanting a boy that is a hero so she can tell all her friends. From the lyrics: "When I'm dead/ No more good times will I crave/ You can stand and shout hero/ All over my lonesome grave"(1.) he shows us that war will do nothing for him but kill him. It is clear that he has no patriotic drive when it comes to being a soldier.

This lack of patriotism is explained in "Masters of War."(lyrics) The angry nature of this song is uncharacteristic of Bob Dylan. Of the song Dylan says, "I’ve never really written anything like this before.
