The right to drag us all into their ego trips? If there is a war maybe the soldiers should go after the leaders first. Eliminate the need for the fighting, it isn't the soldiers that get us into the war, it's the leaders.

Airplane brings the purpose of this song to the forefront. CSN romanticized it to the point that I don't think many people recognized thst it was about the survivors of a nuclear war.
