Lyrics

English: I went to read the new today partly cloudy, skies are grey / Thunder passing over head, Vietnam 1000 dead / Children hear the mumbled cry of wounded soldiers as the die / People suffer needlessly, and now I ask, why must it be? / Love is scarce, there is not enough to go around / Man fights man and pounds himself right in the ground / Can't we see that everyone is equal / Can't we see that everyone needs love / When I watched TV news today / My mind was cloudy, eyes were grey / Thunder echoed through my head, Vietnam 1000 dead / I went to read the new today partly cloudy, skies are grey / Thunder passing over head, Vietnam 1000 dead / Children hear the mumbled cry of wounded soldiers as the die / People suffer needlessly, and now I ask, why must it be? / Love is scarce, there is not enough to go around / Man fights man and pounds himself right in the ground / Can't we see that everyone is equal / Can't we see that everyone needs love / When I watched TV news today / My mind was cloudy, eyes were grey / Thunder echoed through my head, Vietnam 1000 dead
