Song Warmup #8

“Ohio”

By Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young (CSNY)

(Take notes on the musical and thematic elements)

“Ohio”Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming, we're finally on our own.This summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio.Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down. Should have been done long ago.What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know?

Song #1 Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin-to-Die Rag (Country Joe and the Fish)

• Yeah, 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.

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.

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,Why man, this is war au-go-go.There's plenty good money to be madeBy supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,They drop it on the Viet Cong.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,Pack your boys off to Vietnam.Come on fathers, don't hesitate,Send 'em off before it's too late.Be the first one on your blockTo have your boy come home in a box.

Song #2 Belief (John Mayer)Is there anyone who ever remembers

Changing their mind from the paint on a sign? Is there anyone who really recalls ever breaking rank at all For something someone yelled real loud one time Everyone believes in how they think it ought to be Everyone believes and they're not going easily Belief is a beautiful armor but makes for the heaviest swordLike punching under water you never can hit who you're trying for Some need the exhibition and some have to know they tried It's the chemical weapon for the war that's raging on inside Everyone believes from emptiness to everything Everyone believes and no one’s going quietly We're never gonna win the world we're never gonna stop the war We're never gonna beat this if belief is what we're fighting for What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand Belief can Belief can What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand Belief can Belief can

Song #3 Dear Mr. President (Pink and the Indigo Girls)Dear Mr. President Come take a walk with me

Let's pretend we're just two people and You're not better than me I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep What do you feel when you look in the mirror Are you proud How do you sleep while the rest of us cry How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye How do you walk with your head held high Can you even look me in the eye And tell me why Dear Mr. President Were you a lonely boy Are you a lonely boy Are you a lonely boy How can you say No child is left behind We're not dumb and we're not blind They're all sitting in your cells While you pay the road to hell What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay I can only imagine what the first lady has to say You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine Let me tell you bout hard work Minimum wage with a baby on the way Let me tell you bout hard work Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away Let me tell you bout hard work Building a bed out of a cardboard box Let me tell you bout hard work Hard work Hard work You don't know nothing bout hard work Hard work Hard work Oh Dear Mr. President You'd never take a walk with me Would you
