Luyện nghe bài hát The Winter of the Long Hot Summer

It all seemed so idiotic, all the accusations of
The fall always remember, capitulating silence
Election before the winter of the long hot summer
Somewhere in the desert we the oil pressure
And waited for the weather to get much
For the new wind to in the storm

We tried to remember the in the region
The foreign legion, Imperialism,
Peter and hate the Ayatollah were all we learned in school
Not that we Hussein five billion
Not of our new bed the Syrian
And of no mention of the Palestine situation

It was amazing how steamrolled
They eighty percent approval
But there was no one that I polled
No one had a for being in the Gulf
We waited for congress to speak up illegal up
But no one would up

Our were Milli Vanilli's
For corporate Dallas Cowboy Beverly
With perfect timing the politicians their sentiments
So oil gold and sand my sediments precisely
We regretfully the lunacy
I'm afraid there is no time for scrutiny
National unity preserve our
Teflon opportunities were in profundant abundance

On January the Bush administration
Announced a had stricken the Nation the highest quarterly
Earnings in ten years posted by Chevron
Meanwhile a budget was placed in our
As the deadline in the came to an end

So much for the dividend one billion a day is what we spent
And our grandchildren pay for it 'til the end
When schools are and kids don't get their diplomas
They get for gun boat diplomacy disproportionately
or brown we see bullet catchers for the slave master
Then the called up reservists

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

The stage was lit and the were all faded
The in night vision goggles Kuwaited and generals masturbated
'Til the fifteenth two later they invaded
Not a T.V. station expressed dissension or
Hardly made mention to the of information

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

We saw the bomb hole, we the Super Bowl
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 addressed the spectators

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

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

On in both Asian invasions, new world order
as usual for our nation
Could you imagine a hundred fifty thousand
The city of Stockton locked in when we clocked in
Not to mention civilians, the loss of on both sides
Pushed the limits of resilience the scent of in our nostrils
Fuel of the fossil of apostle

The blackness that the sky was not the only thing
That brought a tear to the eye or the taste of to the tongues
Of those too to remember Vietnam
Is heroin better in a mind
the memory of the dying laying in a line
Is it the smell or the shadows and weeping
That keeps the soldier sleeping as he sings the orphan's lullaby

When the soldiers put down bayonets
The are chained to the marionettes
Emir of gets back in his jet
We replace the with new cadets
Will we hate who did the shelling
Or will we hate those who willing to do the killing

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