*****
if you want to defeat your enemy - sing their song
"Nothing is more agreeable and ornamental than good music."
brothers & the whities
blacks & the crackers
police & their backers
they're all political actors
*
beware, be aware of the handshake
that hides the snake
eye'm telling you beware
beware of the pat on the back
it just might hold you back
Jealousy - Misery - Envy
they smile in your face
all the time they want to take your place
back stabbers
*
lord what we gonna do
if everything eye say is true
this ain't no way it ought to be
if only all the masses could see
but everybody keeps saying don't worry
they say don't worry
*
the truth is in the eyes
'cause the eyes don't lie
amen
remember
a smile is just a frown
turned upside down
my friend
"Bear in mind that these bands were all engaged in a show band contest in 1971 and 1972.
And the winners of the that contest would then be able to tour Europe, and would also record an LP in the Armed Forces Network studios in Frankfurt.
So this was a very viable way to avoid active duty in Southeast Asia."
