Come along, come along
the end of Vietnam war
dirty smart bombs and napalm
and US army whores

come along, come along
hey baby don’t be late
come along, come along
let’s celebrate Watergate

Come along, come along,
Poor Nixon’s in his home,
Come along, come along
Sitting under Teapot Dome

come along come along
forget their heroin
smoke some grass and relax
and forget your bloody wine

come along, all-americans
and let’s be number two
number one was a pissy-assed act that we all went through

come along, save the whales
and save the humans, too
and the ladies and the fairies
and the communists true blue

come along out of the cold war
the planet is still here
we got to save our mama
nothing more we have to fear (…)

come along and breathe together
and conspire to be here now
come along, come along
the hour is at hand
when all this mighty nation
that smokes across the land
can wake up again
and shake off our Indochina scream

and hear eight hundred thousand orphaned babies they all dream
come along, oh modern nation
and get down on your knees
and ask the gods and buddas up there???
to forgive us if they please
we have killed two million people
we have wounded millions more (…)

Allen Ginsberg - End the Vietnam War
