Contemporary Classics: "Nobody Gives Us Rhyme Or Reason. Have One Doubt, They Call It Treason"

The President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt, they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one gut (God damn it!)
Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? (Sock it to me, now)

That's some fine jazz.

McCann, Mingus and Miles. All share(d) a common cause. Seems the Coyote-In-Chief do too. (an incomprehensible mutter in shades, dashiki and fez)

I've enjoyed this music immensely since I was in college over 40 years ago, even though to the really cool kids, it was already too pop. I am confused by the lyrics, however. Perhaps they accurately reflect a confused world.

Ready or not, these are the good old days.
