Heh, don't wanna be involved in this one, huh? This here is gonna be a blues number. But first I wanna do a little bit of background on the Blues And say what it is. Like, there are 6 cardinal colors And colors have always come to signify more than that particular shade. Like: "red-neck" or "got the blues." That's where you apply somethin to a color, to express what you're trying to say. So, there are 6 cardinal colors: Yellow, Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple. And there are 3,000 shades. And if you take these 3,000 and divide them by 6, you come up with 500. Meaning that there are at least 500 shades of The Blues. For example, there is... The "I ain't got me no money, blues". There is the "I ain't got me no woman, blues". There is the "I ain't got me no money AND I ain't got me no woman". which is the double blues. And for years it was thought that Black people was the only ones who could get the blues. So the Blues hadn't come into no international type of fame. (...had a corner on the market.) But lately we had.. The Frank Rizzo with the "Lie Detector Blues". We had the United States government talkin bout the "Energy Crisis Blues". And we gonna dedicate this next poem here to Spearhead X. The Ex-Second in Command in terms of this Country. (He GOT the blues.)*laughter* And the poem is called the "H2O G-A-T-E Blues". And if H2O is still water And G-A-T-E is still gate What we gettin ready to deal on is the "Watergate Blues"... (Yeah~ YEAH~ haha~)*scattered applause* (Rated X!) Lemme see if I can dial this number.... Click! Whirr ... Click! "I'm sorry, the government you have elected is inoperative ... Click! Inoperative!" Just how blind will America be? The world is on the edge of its seat Defeat on the horizon. very surprisin' That we all could see the plot and still could not... -- let me do that part again. Just how blind will America be? (Ain't no tellin') The world is on the edge of its seat Defeat on the horizon. very surprisin' That we all could see the plot And claimed that we could not.(Alright~) Just how blind, America? Just as Vietnam exploded in the rice snap, crackle, and pop (Uh Oh!) Could not stop people determined to be free. Just how blind will America be? (Yes Sir!) The shock of a Vietnam defeat Sent Republican donkeys scurrying down on Wall Street And when the roll was called it was: Pepsi-Cola and Phillips 66 Boeing, Dow & Lockheed Ask them what we're fighting for and they never mention the economics of war. Ecological Warfare! Above all else destroy the land! If we can't break the Asian will We'll bomb the dykes and starve the man! America! The international Jekyll and Hyde The land of a thousand disguises Sneaks up on you but rarely surprises (Yeah!) Plundering the Asian countryside in the name of Fu Man Thieu. Afraid of shoeless, undernourished Cambodians While we strike big wheat bargains with Russia Our nuclear enemy Just how blind, America? But tell me, who was around where Hale Boggs died? And what was the cause of LBJ's untimely demise? And what really happened to J. Edgar Hoover? The king is proud of Patrick Gray While America's faith is drowning beneath that cesspool-Watergate. (Yeeeah!) How long will the citizens sit and wait? It's looking like Europe in '38 Did they move to stop Hitler before it was too late? (no...) How long. America before the
