Times of Change - I Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die Rag

What is the song asking the “big strong men to do”?
To "put down your books and pick up a gun." In other words, to join the army.


… the “generals” to do?
To go out there and kill the communists.


… “Wall Street” to do?
To make money by supplying the army.


… “mothers” to do?
To send their boys to Vietnam.


Write down four specific lines from the song that display sarcasm, cynicism, or anti-war sentiment.

1. "What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn."
2. "Whoopee! We're all gonna die."
3. "We're gonna have a whole lotta fun."
4. "Be the first one on the block to have your boy come home in a box."
