Woodstock 1969!Estava vendo o documentário sobre essa grande festival...em meio aos ácidos, maconha e heroína, mais de 500,000 se reuniram para consagrar a paz e o amor através da música. As drogas, os penteados, as roupas, o modo de vida...toda essa anti-cultura pregada pelos hippies era uma grande forma de protesto contra o racismo e principalmente, a guerra do Vietnam iniciada em 1967.. Um dos artistas convidado é Country Joe, que cantou essa música abaixo...Era bem rápida, e como podem perceber pela letra, tinha um tom de ironia e sarcasmo! Well, come on all, you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again, Got himself in a terrible jam, Way down beyond the Vietnam Put down your books and pick up your gun We gonna have whole lot of fun! Chorus: It's 1,2,3 What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn... Next stop is Vietnam! It's 5,6,7 Open up the burly gates Well, that ain't no time to wonder why (woopie!) We're all going to die.. Now, come on Wall Street don't be slow! I mean, this war will go,go,go There's plenty of good money to be made, Smiling army with the tooth of a trade. Just heard them praying: "if we drop the bomb We're dropping on the Vietkong!" Now, come on Generals let's move fast. Your big chance is here at last! Now you can go out and get those reds, Cause the only good kongviet is the one in stead You know the peace, can only be won, When the long wild kingdom'll come! Chorus Now, come on mothers from motherland(?) Pack your boys off to Vietnam! Come on fathers don't hesitate, Your second son's off before's too late. Be the first one army's "...ock"* And the boy'll come home in a box... *: não entendi a palavra pq os 500,000 hippies estavam cantando junto com ele...sei que terminava com "ock" pra rimar com "box"...  |
