I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling
Wants to call you on the telephone baby, a-give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' ring
Keep you're hands to yourself . . . never gets old

that's when she told me a story about free milk and a cow . . .
Go man . . . GO!

But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' ring

I'd Love to Change the World
Ten Years After
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

Busy actually, I don't listen to much radio, unless it's online, these days because the reception in my neighborhood sucks and big time, even for FM stations.

The Vietnam war was starting to heat up.
The Vietnam War became the catalyst for many songs and protests against the thousands of American military coming home in body bags. A war that Congress lost.

I was a teenager in the 1960's and turned 18 in 1969 and went to college. The Selective Service Lottery came into being and my number was in the 280's. In my dorm we had a young man that was a "2".

Kent State, National Guard murdered 4 student protestors and injured 9 student protestors.
www.history.com
Four Kent State University students were killed and nine were injured on May 4, 1970, when members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a crowd gathered to protest the Vietnam War. The tragedy was a watershed moment for a nation divided by the conflict in Southeast Asia. In its immediate aftermath, a student-led strike forced the temporary closure of colleges and universities across the country. Some political observers believe the events of that day in northeast Ohio tilted public opinion against the war and may have contributed to the downfall of President Richard Nixon.
Sad time in America.

He keeps his lyrics vague about taking a side, but he sets things up in the first two lines:
"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"
Later in the song, he refers to "them or us", "black or white" and "rich or poor". Talking about class/race division. Most people think "stop the war" means Vietnam. Does it? Look at the context. Look at what directly proceeds that statement. The entire song is context, you can't just quote a line.

I actually think why I really like this song is do-wop beat, its so catchy. I've also been a fan of Motown go figure I'm from the 60's.

Neil is like Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), on this song. "Soldiers are cutting us down, shoulda been done long ago". That is NOT what he believes, the exact opposite. Context, context, context.
I despise Neil Young's politics, btw. But there's a valid argument for this situation/song.
