Luyện nghe bài hát The Winter of the Long Hot Summer

It all seemed so idiotic, all the of unpatriotic
The fall we'll remember, capitulating silence
Election November before the winter of the long hot
Somewhere in the desert we the oil pressure
And for the weather to get much better
For the new wind to in the storm

We to remember the history in the region
The French legion, Imperialism,
Peter O'Toole and hate the Ayatollah all we learned in school
Not we gave Hussein five billion
Not of our new bed the Syrian
And of no mention of the Palestine situation

It was how they steamrolled
They said eighty approval
But there was no one I knew polled
No one had a reason for in the Gulf
We waited for congress to speak up build up
But no one wake up

Our representatives were Milli
For Dallas Cowboy Beverly Hillbillies
With perfect timing the rhyming their sentiments
So nicely oil gold and sand my precisely
We regretfully the lunacy
I'm afraid there is no time for scrutiny
National unity our community
Teflon election opportunities were in abundance

On January second the Bush
Announced a recession had stricken the the highest quarterly
Earnings in ten years were posted by
Meanwhile a budget was in our hands
As the deadline in the sand to an end

So much for the peace dividend one a day is what we spent
And our will pay for it 'til the end
When are unfunded and kids don't get their diplomas
They get used for gun diplomacy disproportionately
Black or brown we see catchers for the slave master
the conservatives called up reservists

To active service left families nervous but more importantly broke nine a month but the check came late, army red tape you see
golden opportunity, we watched the tube and read the newspaper
The propaganda of the gas masked
Was the proper slander to whip up the

The was lit and the lights were all faded
The pilots in night vision Kuwaited and generals masturbated
'Til the fifteenth two days later invaded
Not a single T.V. expressed dissension or
Hardly mention to the censorship of information

From our kinder and nation blinder and mentaler retardation
Disorientation, the said their bombs lit Baghdad
a Christmas tree, It was the Christian thing to do you see
They didn't mention any casualties, no distinction the real
And the proxy only football

We saw the bomb hole, we watched the Super
We saw the scud missile, we watched Bud
We saw the yellow ribbons, saw pilots in
We never saw films of the at eleven
Angela Davis the spectators

And shouting a rumbling generator said
"If they on bringing us down
Then shut the whole country down"
Marching through the
A hundred became participants
And we heard the drums of off in the distance

through the cities some of them did things that weren't so pretty
Most were there for primal scream
News men concentrated on the negative liked the more
protesters ended up on the cutting room floor
Nintendo of the ratings war
More bombs than in World War II

On in both Asian invasions, new order persuasion
Business as for our nation
Could you imagine a hundred fifty dead
The city of Stockton locked in when we clocked in
Not to mention civilians, the of life on both sides
Pushed the limits of resilience the of blood in our nostrils
of the fossil land of apostle

The blackness that covered the sky was not the only
That brought a tear to the eye or the taste of to the tongues
Of those too young to Vietnam
Is heroin better in a veteran's
Than the memory of the laying in a line
Is it the smell or the shadows heaving and
That keeps the soldier from sleeping as he sings the orphan's

the soldiers put down their bayonets
The strings are to the marionettes
Emir of Kuwait gets in his jet
We the dead with new cadets
Will we hate those who did the
Or will we hate those who weren't to do the killing

When the leaders of the bald eagles come home to
we sing a song of praise and indebtedness
For our deliverance from evil or we sing a song of sadness
For the dreaded debt mess delivered us people
