[00:00:00] I was a member of the communist party

[00:00:04] I'm not a member of the communist party anymore

[00:00:06] But I consider myself very much a socialist

[00:00:09] So we'll get to that later

[00:00:11] Let's go

[00:00:11] One of the reasons why the war

[00:00:13] In vietnam was able to happen as long as it did

[00:00:16] Was because this of this fear of communism

[00:00:19] And people pointed to the vietnamese as their enemy

[00:00:22] As if somehow or another

[00:00:25] If to the country defeated the communist enemy in vietnam

[00:00:29] Things were gonna be okay at home

[00:00:33] But it's a hot night

[00:00:34] Let's talk about the sign of the times

[00:00:37] Politics

[00:00:38] And the plight of the revolutionary soul singer

[00:00:43] It's a hot night

[00:01:00] And we can get our talk on

[00:01:02] Seems I got caught up in this romanticized idea of revolution

[00:01:05] With saviors prophets and heroes

[00:01:07] But in the silence of my prayers

[00:01:10] I had a vision of my hatred

[00:01:11] Dissolving into grains of sand

[00:01:13] Realized

[00:01:14] That to the universe

[00:01:15] That's all I really am

[00:01:16] Just a grain of sand

[00:01:17] I know I get caught up in all that spiritual shit

[00:01:19] But there ain't much to hold onto

[00:01:20] We all living in a world built upon
