Of particular interest, the tune "The Resistance Hymn" dealt with the draft part of the anti-war movement, in which the narrator went to prison as a conscientious objector. Some people called the narrator a coward for not fighting, and suggested that the protesters provided support to the communists, thus calling them traitors.
Also of interest, the album included a re-worked version of the song "Bring Them Home" , composed by Pete Seeger, which argued that the war was unjust, and that it was patriotic to bring home the soldiers and end the war. It contained the line "in Chicago or Vietnam, they're tryin' to get us to be the man" - which may be a reference to the Chicago 1968 demonstrations.
