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When the consent of the governed was for a time withdrawn |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 |
