- The song "Brain Washed" (David Clayton-Thomas)

Annotation by Justin A. Brummer

Lyrics

English: 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
