Does anyone know 3 good songs from the hippie era? I need them for a competition.?

Three anti-war songs, with fast tempo for dancing:

Country Joe and the Fish...(1969) "Feel Like I'm Fixin to Die Rag"

"Come on all you big strong men,

Uncle Sam needs your help again,

He's got himself in a terrible jam,

Way down yonder in Viet Nam................

Mother's be the first one on your block...to have your boy come home in a box."

entire lyrics here:

EDWIN STARR's, "WAR" (1969)

War..what is it good for? Absolutely nuthin' say it again...

War doesn't give life, it's a heartbreaker....it's only good for the undertaker...

Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young....:"OHIO" (1970)

Gotta get down to it

Soldiers are cutting us down

Should have been done long ago.

What if you knew her

And found her dead on the ground

How can you run when you know?
