(aka I Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die Rag)

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,

Uncle Sam needs your help again.

He's got himself in a terrible jam

Way down yonder in Vietnam

So put down your books and pick up a gun,

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;

Your big chance has come at last.

Gotta go out and get those reds -

The only good commie is the one who's dead

And you know that peace can only be won

When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam;

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,

Why man, this is war au-go-go.

There's plenty good money to be made

By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,

Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,

They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam.

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,

Pack your boys off to Vietnam.

Come on fathers, don't hesitate,

Send 'em off before it's too late.

Be the first one on your block

To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,

Next stop is Vietnam.

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the pearly gates,

Well there ain't no time to wonder why,

Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

yep, we knew all about it way back then

Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air (1969)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJae3Q2l-BY

Call out the instigators

Because there's something in the air

We've got to get together sooner or later

Because the revolution's here

And you know it's right

And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together

We have got to get it together now

Lock up the streets and houses

Because there's something in the air

We've got to get together sooner or later

Because the revolution's here

And you know it's right

And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together

We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo

We're going to blast our way through here

We've got to get together sooner or later

Because the revolution's here

And you know it's right

And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together

We have got to get it together now

we had to relearn life

we had to find beauty

we had to define FREEDOM

and for many of us, it was NOT socialism

Joni Mitchell - Woodstock (Live In-Studio 1970)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRjQCvfcXn0

I came upon a child of God

He was walkin' along the road

And I asked him, I said "Where're you going?"

This he told me

He said I'm goin' down to Yasgur's farm

I'm gonna join in a Rock 'n' Roll band

I'm gonna camp up on a land

I'm gonna try and get my soul free, yea

We are stardust

We are golden

And we got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

Well and can I walk beside you?

I've come here to lose the smog

And I feel as if I'm a cog

In somethin' turnin' round and round and round, hmm

Maybe it is just the time of year

Or maybe it's the time of man

I don't know, who I am

But you know, life is for learnin'

We are stardust

We are golden

And we got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

By the time when we got to Woodstock

We were half a million strong

And everywhere you looked

There was a song and a celebration

Everybody was singin' and dancin' and sharin' and havin' fun

And I dreamed and I saw the bombers

They're ridin' shotgun in the sky

And they were turnin' into butterflies

Above our nation

We are stardust, we are a billion year old carbon

We are golden, caught up in the Devil's bargain

And we got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

We've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

many found some land

with an old farm house on it

and built a life close to the earth

and away from the crazy crazy world

CANNED HEAT GOING UP THE COUNTRY WOODSTOCK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8J7CAuX8Ko

I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?

I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go?

I'm going to some place where I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine

I'm going where the water tastes like wine

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away

All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today

Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but

We might even leave the USA

'Cause there's a brand new game that I don't want to play

No use of you running, or screaming and crying

'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine

and we liked our freedom

Jonathan Edwards - Shanty - (Jonathan Edwards, November 1971)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH5qJNl8qDM

Gonna sit down in the kitchen

And fix me something good to eat

And make my head a little high

And make the whole day complete

'Cause we gonna lay around the shanty, mama

And put a good buzz on

Well, pass it to me baby

Pass it to me slow

We'll take time out to smile a little

Before we let it go

'Cause we gonna lay around the shanty, mama

And put a good buzz on

Well, there ain't nothin' to do

And there's always room for more

Fill it, light it, shut up

And close the door

'Cause we gonna lay around the shanty, mama

And put a good buzz on

We gonna sit around the kitchen

Fix us somethin' good to eat

And make ourselves a little high

And make the whole day complete

'Cause we gonna lay around the shanty, mama

And put a good buzz on

'Cause we gonna lay around the shanty, mama

And put a good buzz on

and there were songs

about the power of LOVE

the good kind, the healing kind,

the kind that makes peace in the world

Get Together - The Youngbloods - with lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBJYxPN8qIA

lyrics in the song

Love is but a song we sing

and fear's the way we die

You can make the mountains ring

or make an angel cry

Though the bird is on the wing

and you may not know why

Come on people now

smile on your brother

everybody get together

try to love one another right now

some of us found a way to live their dreams

some never found a way

but the dream lives on

Sometimes in the Morning - Jonathan Edwards

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nliYFcEtvIk

Sometimes in the mornin'

I catch a fallin' dream

Disappearin' scene

And I think about a someone

That I will never see again

And now it's only me again

Oh no no no no oh no ohhhh…

And sometimes in the mornin'

Oh, I think I hear a phrase

Echo through the haze

And it's just beyond my vision

Something that she said one night

Before we went to bed one night

Umm hmm hum

And sometimes in the mornin'

When I go back to sleep

Tryin' hard to keep

All my memories in motion

Wishin' she were near

My love

Whisperin' in my ear

My love
