Lyrics
English: People I'm here to tell you / I've been around since the world began / Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can / I'm an anti-establishment man / I'm tired of your treating / All of my children the same / Everywhere! / Spending all that money / On a stupid war in Vietnam / (When we need it at home) / Five men were killed today / Leaving five wives as widows / Six men they tried to kill / Maybe one will live to raise his son / I've tried so hard / To tell you what went wrong / Been fighting for so many years / For something so very wrong / When will man ever learn / That happiness is his to be earned?
