Arlo from 1974 when Nixon was almost gone.

Schools are still like prisons
Cuz we don't learn how to live
And everybody wants to take, nobody wants to give
Yes you will be remembered, be remembered very well
And if I live a long life, all the stories I could tell
A many who are in poverty of sickness and of grief
Hell yes
You will be remembered, be remembered very well

I was at an Arlo Guthrie concert back around 1995. He related the story that he was invited to the Carter inauguration. While there, one of Carter's sons (I want to say Chip) came up to him with a discovery.

One of the albulms in the White House record collection was "Alice's Restaraunt". Guthrie always wondered which administration had bought it. He also claimed that the song "Alice's Restaraunt" was the same lenth of time as the famous recording gap in the Nixon tapes...
