For the times they are a changin’ Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don’t criticize what you can’t understand Your sons and daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly aging Please out of the way if you can’t lend a hand For the times they are a changin’ PROPHETIC?

  4. “FORTUNATE SON” by Credence Clearwater Revival Some folks are born made to wave the flag,ooh, they're red, white and blue.And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no senator's son,It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no fortunate one, no,Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.But when the taxman come to the door,Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no millionaire's son.It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no fortunate one, no.Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,And when you ask them, how much should we give,oh, they only answer, more, more, more,It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no military son,It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no fortunate one,It ain't me, it ain't me,I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,

  5. “FOR WHAT ITS WORTH” by Buffalo Springfield There's somethin' happenin' here.What it is ain't exactly clear.There's a man with a gun over thereA-tellin' me I've got to beware. Refrain: I think it's time we stop.Children, what's that sound?Everybody look what's goin' down. There's battle lines bein' drawn.Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.Young people speakin' their mindsA-gettin' so much resistance from behind.What a field day for the heat.A thousand people in the streetSingin' songs and a-carryin' signsMostly sayin' hooray for our side.Paranoia strikes deep.Into your life it will creep.It starts when you're always afraid.Step out of line, the men come and take you away.You better stop.Hey, what's that sound?Everybody look what's goin'..You better stop…..

  6. “BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND” sung by Joan Baez, written by Bob Dylan How many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a man? Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand? Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannon balls flyBefore they’re forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,The answer is blowin’ in the wind.How many years can a mountain existBefore it’s washed to the sea? Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people existBefore they’re allowed to be free? Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head,Pretending he just doesn’t see? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,The answer is blowin’ in the wind. How many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky? Yes, ’n’ how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry? Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knowsThat too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
