The Establishment Blues
Sixto Rodriguez

The mayor hides the crime ratencouncil woman hesitates nPublic gets irate but forget the vote date nWeatherman complaining, predicted sun, it's raining nEveryone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting nyou're not like all of the rest. nnGarbage ain't collected, women ain't protected nPoliticians using people, they've been abusingnThe mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the rivernAnd you tell me that this is where it's at.nnWoke up this moming with an ache in my headnSplashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed nOpened the window to listen to the news nBut all I heard was the Establishment's Blues.nnGun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring nDivorce the only answer smoking causes cancernThis system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune nAnd that's a concrete cold fact.nnThe pope digs population, freedom from taxation nTeeny Bops are uptight, drinking at a stoplightnMiniskirt is flirting I can't stop so I'm hurtingnSpinster sells her hopeless chest.nnAdultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fictionnThe little man gets shafted, sons and monies draftednLiving by a time piece, new war in the far east.nCan you pass the Rorschach test?nnIt's a hassle is an educated guess.nWell, frankly I couldn't care less. nn
