i feel like im in a room of retards....who even said this band wasnt around ,,in nam...well if sombody did they are so stupid there was the 50,s before nam ,this was right durring the time ..like me age 42.the beginning and end ..you all need to sort out and learn your history
My generation hated this song - with every fiber in their being.
I can remember friends spitting on the ground when it came on the radio, and even then I could tell - just by the tone - Vietnam was going to be a murderous cesspool we'd bust a nut to extract ourselves from.
Tks for your comments. This song IS high and I beleive money wasn't the motivation. Now a question for those from these times : what's our Vietnam ? We're not hippies anymore...
Thanks, Public Enemy! :)

It's funny because this song wasn't inspired by the Veitnam War.
Instead, The protests against a 10pm curfew in Los Angeles in 1966.
Still an awesome song. I can see how people mistake it. I know I did.

@DixieJukin not exactly written for anti-war, but its a really true line indeed.

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through commercials?
Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO
Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?
Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?
Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

The lyrics shook my nation's conscience awake.
