Assistam a este vídeo e escutem a música de Tom Clay, uma verdadeira colagem dos fatos mais marcantes da história política norte-americana na década de 1960. A temática pacifista contida na letra nos leva a uma reflexão sobre as relações de poder, a intolerância e o preconceito no mundo atual e seus impactos sobre os cidadãos comuns.
