Now I could understand your tears and your shame,She called you "boy" instead of your name.When she wouldn't let you inside,When she turned and said"But honey, he's not our kind." She says I can't see you any more, baby,Can't see you anymore. Walk me down to school, baby,Everybody's acting deaf and blind.Until they turn and say,"Why don't you stick to your own kind." My teachers all laugh, their smirking stares,Cutting deep down in our affairs.Preachers of equality,Think they believe it,Then why won't they just let us be? They say I can't see you anymore baby,Can't see you anymore. One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening,Gonna raise my head up high.One of these days I'm gonna raise up my glistening wings and fly. But that day will have to wait for a while.Baby I'm only society's child.When we're older things may change,But for now this is the way they must remain. I say I can't see you anymore baby,Can't see you anymore.No, I don't want to see you anymore, baby.Donovan - Universal SoldierHe is five foot two,And he's six feet four,He fights with missiles and with spears,He is all of thirty-one,And he's only a seventeen,Been a soldier for thousands years.He's a Catholic, a Hindi,An Atheist, a Jain,A Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew,And he knows, he shouldn't kill,And he knows, he always will,Care for me, my friend, and I will care for you.And he's fighting for Canada,He’s fighting for France,He’s fighting for the USAAnd he's fighting for the Russians,He’s fighting for Japan,And he thinks we put an end to war this way.And he's fighting for democracy,He’s fighting for the Reds,He says it's for the peace of all,He’s the one who must decide,Who’s to live and who's to die,And he never sees the writing on the wall.And without him, how would HitlerKill the people at Dachau,Without him Cesar would have stood alone,He’s the one, who gives his bodyAs a weapon of the war,And without him always killing can’t go on.He's the universal soldier,And he really is to blame,His orders came from far away, no more,They came from here and there,And you and me ain't brothers,Can’t you see,This is not the way we put an end to war.Group 3Country Joe & The Fish - I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die RagYeah, come on all of you, big strong men,Uncle Sam needs your help again.He's got himself in a terrible jamWay down yonder in VietnamSo put down your books and pick up a gun,We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.And it's one, two, three,What are we fighting for ?Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,Next stop is Vietnam;And it's five, six, seven,Open up the pearly gates,Well there ain't no time to wonder why,Whoopee! we're all gonna die.Well, come on generals, let's move fast;Your big chance has come at last.Gotta go out and get those reds -The only good commie is the one who's deadAnd you know that peace can only be wonWhen we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.And it's one, two, three,What are we fighting for ?Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,Next stop is Vietnam;And it's five, six, seven,Open up the pearly gates,Well there ain't no time to wonder whyWhoopee! we're all gonna
