Annotation
Commies Are Coming, The (Jones, Tommy & The Hayriders) Traditional pop / country. Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. Patriotic, anti-protest, pro-civil rights. "War in Vietnam is not our war - we are out of line" - that's what I've heard people say. Draft card burning and riots. But it's helping the communists. Appeasement. We must unite. Also must give right to African-Americans.
