Have Courage, Be Careful (Spokesmen, The) (Decca Records # 31874) Garage rock, anti-protest, patriotic. Fight for freedom, take a stand On the album The Dawn of Correction (Decca # DL 4712). "Some of you men you stop pushing the pencils Some of you men you used to drive the cabs Some of you guys you stopped building the bridge Some of you men used to work the lines Fighting for freedom, you're making a stand Have courage, be careful, in a far away land Some you guys used to own a business Some of you men used to see the line Some of you guys made a buck and a quarter Some of you men used to make a grand... One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four Your pencil are rifles and loaded with lead... Your seat is a landmine where enemies tread Your lab is a jungle, infested with red"
