Three-Five-Zero-Zero...

after the last entry, i decided to post my favorite song from the musical Hair. the phrase dirty little war i used in the previous post is from the lyric.

it's quite the anti-war song...

and anti-racist, if you listen carefully to the meaning behind it...

Three-Five-Zero-Zero
from Hair
the film version
by James Rado and Gerome Ragni



Ripped open by metal explosion
Caught in barbed wire
Fireball
Bullet shock
Bayonet
Electricity
Shrapnel
Throbbing meat
Electronic data processing
Black uniforms
Bare feet, carbines
Mail-order rifles
Shoot the muscles
256 Viet Cong captured
256 Viet Cong captured

Prisoners in Niggertown
It's a dirty little war
Three Five Zero Zero
Take weapons up and begin to kill
Watch the long long armies drifting home
