Unworthy American

Annotation

Unworthy American (Mergers, The) (Cass # 112C). Detroit, Michigan. (1) (2) Garage rock. Anti-war protest, referenced the Vietnam War. "Somewhere the skies turn red Somewhere there's many people dead Whose to care, people only live for themselves Got a neighbour, got a gun, shoot a friend Someday buddy it's gonna end But whose to care, you'll be the first to complain Don't you say that the president is wrong Don't blame Congress they're never there that long There men like you, but you're the one whose to blame The day you were born was the day that you died You've got no conscience, you've got no pride You live for yourself for yourself to survive... So don't look up to Russia, don't look down at Cuba Don't look up to China or Vietnam Take a look out your window man Take a look out your door, you'll see it"

- Unworthy American (Mergers, The) (Cass # 112C). Detroit, Michigan. (1) (2) - Garage rock. Anti-war protest, referenced the Vietnam War. "Somewhere the skies turn red / Somewhere there's many people dead / Whose to care, people only live for themselves / Got a neighbor, got a gun, shoot a friend / Someday buddy it's gonna end / But whose to care, you'll be the first to complain / Don't you say that the president is wrong / Don't blame Congress they're never there that long / There men like you, but you're the one whose to blame / The day you were born was the day that you died / You've got no conscience, you've got no pride / You live for yourself for yourself to survive... / So don't look up to Russia, don't look down at Cuba / Don't look up to China or Vietnam / Take a look out your window man / Take a look out your door, you'll see it"
