Explaining 1969 [177.10] (15 lines)
Explaining 1969

And that’s the way we did it back then,
the way we did it way back when
when boys were boys
and men were men
and wars would choose the victors.

Our mothers would weep and girls would cry
all that weeping, all those sighs
as some would return
and some would die
and wars would choose the victors.

Yes, war would sort the grain from the chaff
ground the grain and burn the chaff.
Yet still you ask me,
"how can you laugh?"
But that’s the way we did it back then.
