Letra

Racing between mysticism and revolution, as we all do these days. If God were a computer, undoubtedly he'd blow up the world, which would be the answer. If not, we have to come to a political revolution, unfortunately. So this, in the hopes of saving the world, here's a revolutionary, a modern American revolutionary song.

It's called "Another Age," and it was written, I started to write it in Hawaii when I ran across a solider who was just walking around Hawaii having come back from Vietnam. And he wasn't seeking employment.

There's a man walking 'round the island with a snake cane
He picked it up in Thailand from a hurricane
And you know he's not gonna go there
He's been one time too long
Now all the games are gone

The younger boys are drowning in a shallow sea
The night belongs to snipers in palm trees
And their sabres flashed like lightning
In the charge of the last brigade
They must have been afraid

Soldiers have their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age
And the blood's running down the blackboard on a blind screen
The convicts shake the cages of a bad dream
And they'll coach you in the classroom that it cannot happen here
But it has happened here

The c*ckroach cops are crawling on a battleground
The shields are in the shadows, it's a college town
And they'll teach you law and order
If you dare to raise your hand
Spare the club and spoil the man

Soldiers have their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age

Thomas Paine and Jesse James, old friends
And Robin Hood is riding on the road again
We were born in a revolution and we died in a wasted war
It's gone that way before
The dogs are chasing chicken bones across the lawn
If that was an election, I'm a Viet Cong
So I pledge allegiance against the flag
And the fall for which it stands
Pledge allegiance to he land

Soldiers have their sorrow
The wretched have their rage
Pray for the aged
It's the dawn of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age
Of another age
