1. Don't as me I don't give a damn....

Thanks for the link.

2. Third verse says not much has changed since then...

Come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
Why man, this is war a-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade,
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

Wow, I always thought there were a lot of good songs back then, but I had no idea how many. When you consider that the people back then were singing about kids being drafted and sent to die, it makes a lot of today's music look whiny and pathetic. Where are the songs about Iraq and Afghanistan? I guess if it's not your ass on the line, no one really cares!
