Title: For What It’s Worth

#1
📽
(1966)

Artist: Buffalo Springfield


What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
Lyrics:
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
There’s something happening here
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
ooh)
There’s a man with a gun over there
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh) We better stop
Telling me I got to beware
Hey, what's that sound?
It's time we stop Everybody look, what's going down?
I think it’s time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Children, what’s that sound? You better stop
Everybody look, what's going down?
Everybody look, what’s going down? Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
There's battle lines being drawn
Into your life it will creep You better stop
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
It starts when you're always afraid Now, what's that sound?
Young people speaking their minds
Step out of line, the men come and take you Everybody look, what's going down?
Getting so much resistance from behind
away
You better stop
It's time we stop Children, what's that sound?
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down?
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Title: Masters of War
#2 (1963) 📽
Like Judas of old How much do I know

Artist: Bob Dylan You lie and deceive


A world war can be won
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You want me to believe You might say I'm unlearned
But I see through your eyes But there's one thing I know
Lyrics: And I see through your brain Though I'm younger than you
Like I see through the water That even Jesus would never
Come you masters of war
That runs down my drain Forgive what you do
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes You fasten all the triggers Let me ask you one question
You that build all the bombs For the others to fire Is your money that good?
You that hide behind walls Then you sit back and watch Will it buy you forgiveness
You that hide behind desks When the death count gets higher Do you think that it could?
I just want you to know You hide in your mansion I think you will find
I can see through your masks While the young people's blood When your death takes its toll
Flows out of their bodies All the money you made
And is buried in the mud Will never buy back your soul
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy You've thrown the worst fear And I hope that you die
You play with my world That can ever be hurled And your death will come soon
Like it's your little toy Fear to bring children I'll follow your casket
You put a gun in my hand Into the world By the pale afternoon
And you hide from my eyes For threatening my baby And I'll watch while you're lowered
And you turn and run farther Unborn and unnamed Down to your deathbed
You ain't worth the blood And I'll stand over your grave
When the fast bullets fly
That runs in your veins 'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Title: 2+2=? (1969)
#4

Artist: Bob Seger


📽
All I know is that I'm young
Lyrics: And your rules they are old
Well I knew a guy in high school
Yes it's true I am a young man If I've got to kill to live
Just an average friendly guy
But I'm old enough to kill Then there's something left untold
And he had himself a girlfriend
I don't wanna kill nobody I'm no statesman I'm no general
And you made them say goodbye
But I must if you so will I'm no kid I'll never be
Now he's buried in the mud
And if I raise my hand in question It's the rules not the soldier
Over foreign jungle land
You just say that I'm a fool That I find the real enemy
And his girl just sits and cries
Cause I got the gall to ask you I'm no prophet I'm no rebel
She just doesn't understand
Can you maybe change the rules I'm just asking you why
So you say he died for freedom
Can you stand and call me upstart I just want a simple answer
Well if he died to save your lies
Ask what answer can I find Why it is I've got to die
Go ahead and call me yellow
I ain't sayin' I'm a genius I'm a simple minded guy
2+2 is on my mind
2+2 is on my mind 2+2 is on my mind
2+2 is on my mind
2+2 is on my mind 2+2 is on my mind
2+2 is on my mind
