Luyện nghe bài hát The Winter of the Long Hot Summer

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

We to remember the history in the region
The French 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 course no mention of the Palestine

It was how they steamrolled
They said eighty percent
But there was no one that I polled
No one had a reason for being in the
We waited for to speak up illegal build up
But no one would up

Our representatives were Vanilli's
For corporate Dallas Beverly Hillbillies
With perfect timing the politicians rhyming sentiments
So nicely oil gold and my sediments precisely
We support the lunacy
I'm afraid there is no time for scrutiny
unity preserve our community
Teflon election were in profundant abundance

On January second the administration
Announced a recession had stricken the Nation the highest
Earnings in ten years were by Chevron
Meanwhile a was placed in our hands
As the deadline in the sand to an end

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

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

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

From our kinder and gentler nation 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 between the
And the only football analogies

We saw the bomb hole, we watched the Bowl
We saw the missile, we watched Bud commercials
We saw the yellow ribbons, saw in prison
We never saw films of the at eleven
Angela Davis addressed the

And shouting above a rumbling generator
"If they insist on bringing us
Then let's shut the country down"
Marching the downtown
A hundred became participants
And we heard the of millions off in the distance

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

On in both invasions, new world order persuasion
as usual for our nation
Could you a hundred fifty thousand dead
The city of coffins locked in when we clocked in
Not to mention civilians, the of life on both sides
the limits of resilience the scent of blood in our nostrils
Fuel of the fossil land of

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

When the soldiers put down bayonets
The strings are chained to the
of Kuwait gets back in his jet
We replace the dead with new
Will we those who did the shelling
Or we hate those who weren't 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 evil or will we a song of sadness
For the dreaded debt mess delivered us people
