"Bomb the World" is a protest song single by Michael Franti & Spearhead from their album "Everyone Deserves Music". The Independent has called it "Franti's s response to September 11".[1]
A remix called "Bomb The World" (Armageddon Mix) was produced by reggae/funk performers Sly and Robbie.
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]
