Notes

"Hey Joe" "Baby town dreamin' on the Fourth of July / Touchin' herself to the stars in the sky / The stars in the sky made her blind, hey, what a riot / Father's father called him "big man" when he missed / It's that '50s kinda shit that trickles down to the kids / So we tried giving peace a chance, but didn't know what it is / And now we're patiently awaiting for some light to come in / To shake the living hell out of what we became / We're frightened of the old and we're tired of the young / Guess the one-trick ponies got us singin' along, "Hey Joe"... / Some thought about the Ken Burns Viet [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
