Nineteen Seventies Alive and Well

bell bottom blue jeans
warm belly button showing
nineteen seventies

woodstock mad music
vietnam war in full swing
youth rebelling now

free love is rampant
people living in communes
churches pray like mad

usa magic
separation of  our youth
from solid parents

after kennedy
dr martin luther king
turned country wild

youth were change ready
probably the soldiers too
holding breath in swamps

nineteen seventies
color tv was alive
sonny and cher show

assertive women
wait patiently in the wings
for the eighties turn
