'70: They're Killing Children Over There

The Magnetic Fields

So we went to see the Jefferson Airplane
Odetta was the opening act
Grace Slick was young and angry
She said "My fellow freaks, it's a factThey're killing children over there
They're killing children over there
I know we're not supposed to care
But they're still killing children over there"Back then I was even younger than Grace Slick
Even for my age I was small
I thought she meant a massacre
Was taking place inside that hall
She said "they're killing children over there
They're killing children over there
I know we're not supposed to care
But they're still killing children over there"Now that everyone is fat and complacent
I haven't heard a protest in years
We just keep paying our taxes
The taxes keep turning the gears
They're killing children over there
They're killing children over there
I know we're not supposed to care
But they're still killing children over there
