ASK NOT - Words & Music by Mitchell Hale
And so my fellow Americans
Ask not
What your country can do for you
Ask what your country
and Almighty God
permitted...
For I have become the prey
of hostile powers
of hostile powers
of hostile powers
And so my fellow Americans
Ask not
What your country can do for you
Ask what your country
and Almighty God
permitted...
For I have become the prey
of the dark powers of destruction
the dark powers of destruction
the dark powers of destruction
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...
My fellow Americans...
Now the trumpet
from the Hand of God
summons again
the absolute power to destroy
my long twilight grave,
summoned from the Hand of God
It's a long twilight grave:
my final rest
is a long twilight grave...
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...

PRESIDENT KENNEDY IS DEAD - Words & Music by Mitchell Hale
There was malice in Dallas
That bright '60's day
Was it gremlins from the Kremlin
that made sure that Johnny paid
or the fiasco in the Bay of Pigs?
Whoever it was - they didn't do it
with a couple of MiGs.
Some people know for a fact
that it was the mob
others say the CIA and FBI
were in on the job
but whether it was the commies
or just some kook
President Kennedy is now
merely a spook.
President Kennedy is dead
Oswald took a rifle and splattered open his head
Kennedy and Camelot are gone
But the memories of Kennedy linger on.
Some say Johnny would have changed
the face of the world
Others say he couldn't keep it in his pants
and only thought about girls
John Fitzgerald, Robert and Marilyn
I say to hell with all of them
President Kennedy is dead
Oswald took a rifle and splattered open his head
Kennedy and Camelot are gone
But the enemies of Kennedy linger on.
And on
And on..

WORLDWIDE STRUGGLE
Words & Music by Mitchell Hale
Negros! Negros!
Racial Discrimination...
Riot Proportions!
Riot Proportions!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Federal Troops!
Federal Troops!
I hope that every American,
regardless of where he lives...
will stop and examine his conscience...
about this and other related incidents...
This Nation was founded by men
of many Nations and backgrounds...
It was founded on the principle
that all men are created equal...
And that the Rights of every man
are diminished...
when the Rights of one man
are threatened...
Negros! Negros!
Racial Discrimination...
Riot Proportions!
Riot Proportions!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Federal Troops!
Federal Troops!

RIDE THE FIRE (APOLLO 1)
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale
Gotta realize there's a
fundamental truth to our nature...
Man must explore!
Man must explore!
Gotta realize there's a
fundamental truth to our nature...
Man must explore!
Man must explore!
Ride The Fire!
Three minutes past the hour!
Ignition sequence start...
Lift off!
We have lift off!
Three minutes past the hour!
Ignition sequence start...
Lift off!
We have lift off!
Ride The Fire!
I believe that this nation
should commit itself,
commit itself,
to achieving the goal,
the goal,
before this decade is out,
is out,
of landing a man on the moon,
a man on the moon,
the moon,
a man on the moon,
and returning him,
safely to the Earth,
to the Earth,
safely,
safely to the Earth...
The approprate spacecraft...
liquid fueled boosters...
The appropriate lunar spacecraft...
liquid fueled boosters...
larger larger larger...
than any now being developed...
but in a very real sense,
it will not be one man
going to the moon...
it will be an entire nation...
T-minus twenty seconds and counting!
fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven...
We have ignition sequence start!
Engines on!
Five, four, three, two...
All engines running!
Liftoff!
We have liftoff!
Forty-nine minutes past the hour!
The tower is clear!
The tower is clear!
The tower is clear!
Ride The Fire!
NASA investigators
continue their probe
of a tragic flash fire
that killed Apollo astronauts
Grissom, White, and Chaffee...
The blackened shell
of their capsule
may still hold the clue
to the cause of the
swiftly spreading flames...
While scientists
develop a fire-proof fabric
for Apollo space suits,
and a new hatch
that will open
in three seconds,
America's
man-on-the-moon timetable
still aims
for a landing by 1970...
Ride The Fire!
