The falsetto harmony at around 2:30 may be one of my favourite moments in a song ever, idk why it just hits so good

My mother was a musicians who specislised in 19th century folk music. She played pretty much any instrument, but preferred obscure ones like the hammer dulcimer. At the same time she was a product of the 60s. A lot of hippie, disco, blues, and rock to come before and practiced by her. Unfortunately my mother and best friend passed when I was 18 in 2012. When I hear songs like this I always think of her. So many meaningful lyrics in a simple melody with a complex harmony. Songs like this always reminds me of my mother so much, and I hope I never forget who brought me to music in the first place.

Lyrics:
"Slip back out of whack at your best
It's a nightmare
So I'm joining the army
No house phones, but can I still call?
Will you wait for me now?
We got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything but you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
I want what's better for you
So long, my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best
Are you okay?
I've been out around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years
I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?
And they sacrifice their lives
In our land are all closed eyes
They've said it a billion times and they'll say it again
So long, my adversary and friend
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
I'm tired of all your friends
Knocking down your door
Get up in the morning, yelling no more
So long, my friend and adversary
I'll wait for you"
