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 of the long hot summer
Somewhere in the desert we the oil pressure
And waited for the weather to get better
For the new wind to blow in the

We tried to the history in the region
The French legion, Imperialism,
Peter and hate the Ayatollah were all we learned in school
Not that we gave Hussein five
Not of our new bed partner the
And of course no mention of the Palestine

It was amazing how steamrolled
said eighty percent approval
But there was no one that I polled
No one had a reason for being in the
We waited for congress to up illegal build up
But no one wake up

Our representatives were Vanilli's
For corporate Dallas Cowboy 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
National unity preserve our
Teflon opportunities were in profundant abundance

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

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

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

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

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

We saw the bomb hole, we watched the Super
We saw the missile, we watched Bud commercials
We saw the ribbons, saw pilots in prison
We never saw films of the at eleven
Angela addressed the spectators

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

Rushing through the cities some of them did that 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 bombs dropped in World War II

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

The blackness covered 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 veteran's
Than the memory of the dying laying in a
Is it the smell or the shadows and weeping
That keeps the soldier from sleeping as he sings the lullaby

When the put down their bayonets
The strings are chained to the
Emir of Kuwait gets in his jet
We replace the dead new cadets
we hate those who did the shelling
Or will we hate 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 evil or will we sing a song of sadness
For the debt this mess delivered us people
