Keith Gordon, in the track "A Teenager's Answer" (Tower Records # 383) took the approach of trying to convince Lundberg of the "flower-power" culture, saying that he wanted to "make love, not war". He also said that the hip kids are true Americans. Like some of the tracks above, he mentioned the teachings of the bible. Furthermore, the narrator argued that in history rebels had made America great, such as George Washington against the British, and Abraham Lincoln against slavery. Released in Hollywood, California, US, as a promo record, it came with a picture sleeve that had the lyrics printed on it. The b-side featured an instrumental version. Composed by Hal Shrager, Sid Shrager, and Al Chorney. Arranged and conducted by Don Ralke ("A Ditto Production"). Falstaff Music Company Inc., BMI.
