| [00:07.746] | Let's mark this date together, |
| [00:09.921] | lest it pass us by |
| [00:12.224] | Let's recall a moment when the powder keg ran dry |
| [00:16.105] | When all across the USA cities turned to embers |
| [00:20.576] | Anybody old enough vividly remembers |
| [00:24.742] | Everything that happened on that date |
| [00:27.453] | |
| [00:30.684] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [00:33.684] | |
| [00:37.667] | Carpet bombing of the city of Hanoi |
| [00:40.868] | Barely two decades after Little Boy |
| [00:45.012] | Draft cards burning, |
| [00:47.024] | police stations on fire |
| [00:49.213] | The powers-that-be down to the wire |
| [00:53.273] | The naked emperor was the normative state |
| [00:57.491] | |
| [00:59.524] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [01:02.671] | |
| [01:06.200] | Both ruling parties were exposed, the question of the day |
| [01:14.225] | Mr President how many kids did you kill today |
| [01:18.336] | If we try to draft more soldiers, said the general, I can't guarantee |
| [01:22.385] | That we could maintain domestic tranquility |
| [01:26.431] | A society on the brink, the possibilities so great |
| [01:30.772] | |
| [01:32.686] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [01:35.280] | |
| [01:38.795] | It was a time when people everywhere were rising from their knees |
| [01:42.801] | Just outside the halls of power, throughout the colonies |
| [01:46.567] | From Oakland to Algiers, from Saigon to Paris |
| [01:51.089] | Structures laid bare for all to see |
| [01:55.488] | The use of force alone will not determine our fate |
| [02:00.516] | |
| [02:01.396] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [02:04.054] | |
| [02:07.649] | Soldiers were kept in barracks lest they figure out the score |
| [02:15.760] | That love really can be more powerful than war |
| [02:19.830] | The ruling class tried desperately to gain the upper hand |
| [02:23.969] | Faced with a society they didn't understand |
| [02:28.324] | They just about got stuck beneath the historical weight |
| [02:33.624] | |
| [02:34.445] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [02:36.867] | |
| [02:41.074] | Anyone in power now knows it might not last |
| [02:44.602] | At least if they look back to the fairly recent past |
| [02:48.587] | When the consent of the governed was for a time withdrawn |
| [02:53.048] | When empires were challenged and some of them were gone |
| [02:57.195] | When the movement was global and liberation was its freight |
| [03:01.303] | |
| [03:03.306] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [03:09.626] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
| [03:16.114] | Fifty years ago in '68 |
