The War Is Over / You Ain't Going Nowhere

Anti Vietnam war song "The War Is Over" (RCA Victor # 74-0309) referenced Richard Nixon, criticizing him for ignoring the protesters and prolonging the war. It also noted a protester being killed, which in the case of Michael James Brody Jr. won't make any difference because he will be reborn.
I just want to thank everybody for letting me record now. All the money that I record off this record goes to peace.
And, uh, let's get into it.


I met you on the battlefields of the ...
Saw you in Vietnam, lost and gone in the Mideast war
In Nigeria
Oh yeah

She was young and free then
I was searching for freedom

President Nixon if you'd seen me in Washington D.C. last week
We could have ended it all
I'm really not a freak,
I'm just trying to do my thing
End the war in Vietnam

I have no bitterness against you
for locking my friends away too
Let your secret service kill me
if that's what you want to
Makes no difference, I'll be reborn
In Biafra
Oh yeah

She was young and free then
I was searching for freedom

Vietnam brothers,
drop down your guns, rejoice,
the war's over now
Oh wow

No politicians, no pieces of paper
can make it die

Believe in God
and we'll all fly to heaven when we die
Oh yeah

She was young and free then
I was searching for freedom
