Luyện nghe bài hát The Winter of the Long Hot Summer

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

We tried to remember the history in the
The foreign legion, Imperialism,
O'Toole and hate the Ayatollah were all we learned in school
Not that we gave Hussein billion
Not of our new bed partner the
And of course no of the Palestine situation

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 congress to speak up build up
But no one wake up

Our were Milli Vanilli's
For corporate Cowboy Beverly Hillbillies
With perfect the politicians rhyming their sentiments
So nicely oil gold and sand my precisely
We support the lunacy
I'm afraid there is no time for more
National preserve our community
election opportunities were in profundant abundance

On January second the administration
Announced a recession had the Nation the highest quarterly
in ten years were posted by Chevron
Meanwhile a budget was in our hands
As the in the sand came to an end

So much for the peace dividend one a day is what we spent
And our grandchildren pay for it 'til the end
When schools are unfunded and kids get their diplomas
They get used for gun boat diplomacy
Black or brown we see catchers for the slave master
Then the called up reservists

To active service left nervous but more importantly broke 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 rape
Was the proper slander to whip up the

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

our kinder and gentler nation blinder and mentaler retardation
Disorientation, the pilots said their lit Baghdad
Like a 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 Super
We saw the scud missile, we watched Bud
We saw the yellow ribbons, saw pilots in
We never saw of the dead at eleven
Angela Davis addressed the

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

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

On in both invasions, new world order persuasion
Business as usual for our
Could you imagine a hundred thousand dead
The city of Stockton coffins locked in when we in
Not to mention civilians, the loss of life on both
the limits of resilience the scent of blood in our nostrils
Fuel of the 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 remember
Is heroin better in a veteran's
Than the memory of the dying laying in a
Is it the smell or the heaving and weeping
That keeps the soldier from sleeping as he the orphan's lullaby

When the soldiers put down their
The strings are to the marionettes
Emir of Kuwait back in his jet
We replace the with new cadets
Will we those who did the shelling
Or will we hate those who weren't willing to do the

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