Lyrics
English: This is the part where I would talk about Vietnam / But me and Rugged Man we already made a song / By the '70s distrust had spread across the nation / Basic discontent political alienation / 55,000 died in the war of moral shame / And then Watergate was added to the hall of pain / The Watergate burglaries was rather complicated / But in the end mostly all of them exonerated / Nixon had CIA and G. Gordon Liddy / Lie about the Democratic National Committee / But eventually they all flipped on him / And told the Senate that they had a lot of shit on him / After that it was a swift and a sudden fall / Nixon resigned before they could impeach them all / They got rid of Nixon but they kept the system / His foreign policy still remains in position / Corporate interests still remained in position / His closest advisors remain in position / Vietnam recession and unrest / All adds up to a motherfucking mess After Watergate and Vietnam / There was a deep economic insecurity in this world of ours / Environmental deterioration took its toll / A cultural violence upon the families took its toll / Problems couldn’t be solved without bold changes / But no major party candidates proposed changes / American political tradition held fast / Urban communities turning into hell fast / Black folks are bitterly disappointed with Carter / Opposed federal aid the poor people didn’t bother / Reagan got elected and he built a military up / A trillion dollars later / And this motherfucker dummy…
