The Vietnam War builds up to its flashpoint
More US forces gradually trickle in
A coup in the South, the new regime wants
To attack the North, like the Americans
And soon, a clash in the Gulf of Tonkin
Followed by a US bombing campaign
Approved by LBJ. Meanwhile within
The States, Civil Rights murders are a stain
On Mississippi's soil, while Johnson's name
Is signed on the Civil Rights Act, against
Segregation - he then says let's begin
The Great Society. Soon to be slain
Malcolm X leaves Nation of Islam. Don't
Be left-wing! - Brazil's army coup warning
