The great Alvin Lee's "I'd Love To Change The World"
Edited on Mon Aug-16-10 02:52 PM by Gman
Still timely and appropriate today

I'd Love To Change The World
by Alvin Lee and Ten Years After

Everywhere is
Freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity

Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till 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, monopoly

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 or 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


Heard this earlier today. It's just as timely as it was in the 70's.
And some of the finest licks you'll ever hear.

2. That one is on my ipod.
Too many of the songs that meant something then are timely today. :(

3. Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" immediately comes to mind
there's many others.
