about this album

Anti War, anti Colonialism anti Oligarchical tirade with good instrumental-ism with VERY poignant lyrics re: the South East Asia wars, on going Capitalist lies. Long piece, improves with age; one of the LEAST APPRECIATED period pieces. I still cry when I listen; every line full of symbolism, convoluted references. Sums up youth's angst with the Establishment; universally applicable, could be sung in Russian. Or French, Chinese.. "And call out the Border Guard, the Kingdom is crumbling! The king is in the counting house, laughing and stumbling! His armies are extended, way beyond the shore, while we send our lovely boys to die, in a foreign jungle war"...
