Luyện nghe bài hát The Winter of the Long Hot Summer

It all seemed so idiotic, all the accusations of
The fall we'll always remember, silence
November before the winter of the long hot summer
Somewhere in the desert we the oil pressure
And waited for the weather to get better
For the new to blow in the storm

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

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

Our were Milli Vanilli's
For corporate Dallas Cowboy Beverly
With perfect timing the politicians rhyming 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
Teflon election opportunities were in profundant

On second the Bush administration
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 came to an end

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

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 the tube and read the newspaper
The propaganda of the gas rape
Was the proper slander to whip up the

The stage was lit and the were all faded
The in night vision goggles Kuwaited and generals masturbated
'Til the fifteenth two days they invaded
Not a T.V. station 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
Like a tree, It was the Christian thing to do you see
They mention any casualties, no distinction between the real
And the only football analogies

We saw the hole, we watched 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 Davis addressed the

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

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

On in both Asian invasions, new world order
Business as 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 life on sides
Pushed the limits of resilience the scent of in our nostrils
Fuel of the fossil of apostle

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

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

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