Annotation
The song Brain Washed (David Clayton-Thomas) "I've been brainwashed I woke up one morning and I took a look around Found myself sleeping in the city dog pound Told myself this just can't be In the home of the brave and the land of the free I finally found my voice and I began to shout I got to got to tell you what it's all about I've been brainwashed Now it pours from my papers from my radio Telling me what to do and which way to go White knight charging down at me with a lance Drives in my belly I don't stand me a chance Stem the over population take a walk in outer space I got to got to tell you what we all got to face We've been brainwashed Down with the hangman rather fight than switch Public insulation gotta know which is which We won ourselves a victory the casualties were light Judging by the news machine it ain't much of a fight 60 million people reading all about Viet Nam 85 percent of them don't give a damn They've been brainwashed"

- The song Brain Washed (David Clayton-Thomas) "I've been brainwashed / I woke up one morning and I took a look around / Found myself sleeping in the city dog pound / Told myself this just can't be / In the home of the brave and the land of the free / I finally found my voice and I began to shout / I got to got to tell you what it's all about / I've been brainwashed / Now it pours from my papers from my radio / Telling me what to do and which way to go / White knight charging down at me with a lance / Drives in my belly I don't stand me a chance / Stem the over population take a walk in outer space / I got to got to tell you what we all got to face / We've been brainwashed / Down with the hangman rather fight than switch / Public insulation gotta know which is which / We won ourselves a victory the casualties were light / Judging by the news machine it ain't much of a fight / 60 million people reading all about Viet Nam / 85 percent of them don't give a damn / They've been brainwashed"
