And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M.16?

Schuman was a leftist cunt who tried to write an antiwar song because of sand in his vag about being a fucktard 1980s commo.
Originally hated that vietnam diggs thought it was unironically celebrating their story. I met him in early 80s thru mates in another band after I'd just joined up, and he was all sneers and babykiller for UncleSam attitude.
Now he's trapped playing it on the hasbeen Rissole tour circuit as it's his only popular song.
