Well it's nighttime and the long cars
Are arriving at the door,
The general is having another party,
With a congressman or three
And some guys you never see outside the bank.
There's a laughing clink of glasses
And a polished click of boots
And bitter talk of a country
With a weakness in its roots.
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.
"Well the fools don't know the difference
It's for their own good," they said.
And they shot blind Lady Liberty
In the back of her head.
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.
They giveth, they taketh,
Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY) is a folk-rock supergroup formed in 1969. The group consists of David Crosby (formerly of The Byrds), Stephen Stills and Neil Young (both formerly of Buffalo Springfield) and Graham Nash (formerly of The Hollies). Considered one of the first supergroups in rock history, CSNY achieved international success with their debut album *Crosby, Stills and Nash* (1969), which includes the hits «Marrakesh Express» and «Suite: Judy Blue Eyes». In 1970, Young officially joined the group, giving rise to the definitive lineup. CSNY released numerous successful albums throughout the 1970s, including *Déjà Vu* (1970) with the song «Teach Your Children», and *4 Way Street* (1971), recorded live during a tour. The group disbanded several times over the years but continued to reunite for occasional concerts and albums. Some of CSNY's most representative songs include: «Ohio», «Wooden Ships» and «Our House».

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
