Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me, where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding, economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money? No, not poor me
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Oh, yeah
World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
May I ask-
ReplyDeletewhy you posted this?
Since ‘69, ‘70 when that album was out, that song has been very dear to me.
Reading it, I heard Alvin singing it nd the guys playing.
Thanks to post it.
I trust you are well nd healthy.

Morning Juan,
DeleteThe song came up on my spotify rotation and it's always been one that gets the volume turned up.
Still prescient in this day and age.
