We Can Be Together - Remastered

This song is a clarion call to the young, inviting them to come together to resist authority. It shows the dividing line between generations that was so pronounced in America in 1970. The Vietnam War was raging and had the support of most older Americans who felt it was a necessary fight for freedom. Many of these supporters looked down on the able-bodied young people who resisted the war as dirty hippies who didn't love their country. The song uses this rhetoric as a rallying cry: We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young Jefferson Airplane was suggesting they embrace this vitriol and use it to unify and revolt.

Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane wrote this song and sang the lead vocal along with Grace Slick and Marty Balin.

"We Can Be Together" is the first track on the Volunteers album and was also released as the B-side of their more well-known title track.
