This song sums up the devastation of the American family. Released in 1969.... saddest, TRUEST, song I've ever listened to. In a nation where a person can become anything they choose.... why do so many choose to remain on the government teat, existing on the largess of WORKING Americans.... and never striving for the pride and self esteem of ACHIEVEMENT....content to remain on the plantation while never knowing what it is like to actually EARN an income..... If you cannot succeed in America.... God help you, because you are incapable of helping yourself.
