Originally recorded by the Drifters, with lyrics about the realities of racism. But the record isn’t released until vocal tracks are replaced with white singers and patriotic words.

Written as commentary on the political and social storms of the day; also a documentary of The Stones’ ‘69 tour, including the tragedy at Altamont that ended a musical era.

Often misinterpreted, the song opens with patriotic flag-waving lyrics, followed by scathing political criticism: the Senator’s son is the “fortunate” one.

Jim Morrison said the song is not political. But the lyrics suggest otherwise: May take a week, and it may take longer; they got the guns, but we got the numbers.

The first Elvis song with a social message, but without the song’s original subtitle: (The Vicious Circle). A fairly feeble protest, it does manage to reach an older audience.

The song is an instant hit at the Seattle Pop Festival. But when the Canadian band plays at the White House, First Lady Pat Nixon has the song deleted from the music set.
