This is my song about the revolution of the Sixties. Maybe it wasn't such a good thing.

Lyrics
Requiem for the Sixties The promise of the Sixties we have finally seen through. It turned out to be a witch’s brew. When did you say we would find peace and love? I have an olive branch but where is the dove? Your dance with the Bear nearly got us undone. You said you spoke Truth that it was the one. Your solution was money down a bottomless hole. But how can money mend a damaged soul? Chorus Andrew Jackson married liberals at the feast. Now some people say you’re the head of the Beast. You reinvented history to sell your heart of gold. But Lincoln freed the slaves, you invented Jim Crow! You give the faithful an alternate view. One that you aren’t afraid to skew. You hate America with all your lies. That makes you the Lord of the Flies! Chorus (Instrumental here) You hide your positions to keep us in the dark. Your Shellyesque Monster won’t arise with a spark. If it’s good for America you’ll spread your jive. Your support for the enemy has cost us many lives. You’ve sold your soul for a failed theory. Why do you hate Christianity? Engels vision is based on faith too. But you want the asylum to run the zoo! Chorus Chorus: Welcome to the dance of the Pied Piper. They’ll control your life from the diaper. They sacrifice freedom on the altar of Marx. If this keeps up our age will turn Dark.
