Think of all the hate there is in Red China.................

.....then take a look around at Selma Alabama; ah you may leave here for 4 days in space, but when you return it's the same old place; the pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace; you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace; hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace........ more than fifty five years later not a goddamn thing has changed. Footnote - The word "ah" appears because Barry McGuire couldn't read the word scribbled on the piece of paper - the song was recorded in one take on a Thursday and was on the radio the next Monday.
