Video of Les McCann and Eddie Harris performing "Compared to What?" at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1969.

The President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason
Have one doubt and they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers, all without one nut (Hee)
Tryin' to make it real, compared to what? (Come on)

I thought this song was by Bruce Hampton, because the first time I heard it was on that live Aquarium Rescue Unit record from the early 90's. https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Legend has it that McCann (and maybe Harris? I don't recall) dropped acid for their first times during this set.
