[Beowulf9]

You poisoned my sweet water. You cut down my green trees. The food you fed my children Was the cause of their disease.

My world is slowly fallin' down And the airs not good to breathe. And those of us who care enough, We have to do something.......

[Chorus] Oh... oh What you gonna do about me? Oh... oh What you gonna do about me?

Your newspapers, They just put you on. They never tell you The whole story.

They just put your Young ideas down. I was wonderin' could this be the end Of your pride and glory?

[Chorus]

I work in your factory. I study in your schools. I fill your penitentiaries. And your military too!

And I feel the future trembling, As the word is passed around. "If you stand up for what you do believe, Be prepared to be shot down."

[Chorus]

And I feel like a stranger In the land where I was born And I live like an outlaw. An' I'm always on the run...

An I'm always getting busted And I got to take a stand.... I believe the revolution Must be mighty close at hand...

[Chorus]

I smoke marijuana But I can't get behind your wars. And most of what I do believe Is against most of your laws

I'm a fugitive from injustice But I'm goin' to be free. Cause your rules and regulations They don't do the thing for me

[Chorus]

And I feel like a stranger In the land where I was born And I live just like an outlaw. An' I'm always on the run.

[Bullish]

Sounds like some environmentalist simp wrote those lyrics.

[Paladin2]

Unremarkable, though largely correct.

No mention of EVs....

[Revel]

This was a good song.

[Honest Nigerian]

Quicksilver Messenger and
It’s A Beautiful Day are two of my all-time favorites from that era, genre and locale.
Great performers. Truly great

Written over 50 years ago. Very prescient. A favorite then. Thanks for the reminder.

[DannyTN]

What about you?

You write horribly meaningless titles.

[Enterprise]

I liked the song and the group!

[ETCM]

Dave Freiberg was the only member who went on to success in another band, going to Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. I saw Dave playing with Jefferson Starship last year, and he’s still going pretty strong for an 85 year old rock star who survived the 60’s.

[Psalm 73]

Mmmm, I’ve got a couple of Quicksilver Messenger Service albums - good day to put ‘em on the turntable. Thanks for the heads-up!

[AAABEST]

lol - that’s some pinko $**t right there - I don’t care who you are.
