Annotation — Song Poems
"We'll Never Ration Liberty" - Artist: not names, but it's Bob Storm - Label: Grand Recording Co. (pending) # JH-494 - Songwriter: Clayton Shanks (S. Chestnut St., Marysville, Ohio, 43040) - Label address: 1354 Hancock St., Quincy, Mass. - Patriotic, reference to war, Vietnam-era - Some say our end is here, we don't believe it - We'll never ration liberty, we'll see it through to stay free - As much as we hate war, we must explain the score - Teach aggressive foes their sad mistakes - Need we'll pitch in with our mighty men, to give our land it's freedom - All you foes of the free, time to move you out - With god, we'll shout out, you'll never ration our liberty
