War Song (Young, Neil & Graham Nash)
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: "Vietnam, Nixon, Wallace / In the morning when you wake up / You've got planes flying in the sky / Flying bombs made to break up / All the lies in your eyes / There's a man says / He can put an end to war / They shot George Wallace down / He'll never walk around / Our mines are sleeping in the sea / Blow those bridges down / And burn that jungle down / And kill those Vietnamese"
