Remarks:
The video is from Woodstock in 1969, back when White Americans achieved a brief period of sanity. They do not sing songs like this anymore.
Lyrics:

Give me a “K”! …”K”!
WHATS THAT SPELL? …”FUCK!”
WHATS THAT SPELL? …”FUCK!”
WHATS THAT SPELL? …”FUCK!”

Well come on all of you big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again,
he got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonder in Vietnam,
put down your books and pick up a gun, we’re gunna have a whole lotta fun.
CHORUS
and its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for?
don’t ask me i don’t give a dam, the next stop is Vietnam,
and its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates. Well there aint no time to wonder why…WHOPEE we’re all gunna die.
now come on wall street don’t be slow, why man this’s war a-go-go,
there’s plenty good money to be made, supplyin’ the army with the tools of the trade,
just hope and pray that when they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Vietcong.
CHORUS
now come on generals lets move fast, your big chance is here at last.
nite you go out and get those reds cuz the only good commie is one thats dead,
you know that peace can only be won, when you blow em all to kingdom come.
CHORUS
(spoken)- listen people i dont know you expect to ever stop the war if you cant sing any better than that… theres about 300,000 of you fuc|ers out there.. i want you to start singing..
CHORUS
now come on mothers throughout the land, pack your boys off to vietnam,
come on fathers don’t hesitate, send your sons off before its too late,
be the first one on your block, to have your boy come home in a box
CHORUS
Alrite !!!!!!!

This was during a period like no other…And we’ll probably never have it again. Too many of them are infected now…
Either that or they swallowed the Blue Pill.

I wonder what it was about 60’s and 70’s that caused black people,students,women,native americans,chicano’s,homosexuals virtually every oppress or marginalized group not just in america but globally to rise up and resist.
There was one group that while they may or may not have been a member of the oppressed or marginalized groups where definitely the primary oppressors – white males.

Cascade effect. When one group spoke out, another felt emboldened to do so, and on down the line, too. it helped as well that the southern countries were winning independence and embracing “pink” economic practices and SUCCEEDING.

Just wait for the next draft. Then everybody will speak up about the problems with the government and mainstream society, and all the “everyday people” will become brothers again, united with more hatred for “the man” than for each other. We don’t have enough adversity to motivate us right now, so we’re just “waitin’ on the world to change.”

I’d hear somebody cryin’ out at night
From a sharecropper shack or penitentiary
All God’s children ain’t free”
