Referenced the Vietnamese. Released on the 1971 album "Rainbow Race" (Columbia Records # C 30739).

"Our generation has sandals like Vietnamese

Our generation wears long hair

With our clobbered minds, we still wink an eye to say

Meet me, meet me at the bottom of the stairs

Our generation whistles in the dark

Has faith in faithlessness and in blue sky

Our heroes now are either none, or ev'ryone

Our saints also are only you and I

Our generation won't remake this ravished world

Our generation can only try

To wink an eye at ev'ryone, yes, ev'ryone

Saying meet me at the beginning of the sky!"

Protest Songs

Beautiful tender description of the generation of idealists in those days, with 'clobbered minds'. It takes a clever and clear mind to create such a song.
