i’ve always recalled this one from some k-tel compilation from the 70s, but only recently did i bother to look for it and only today did i listen carefully enough to hear the lyrics for the first time. \nthey’re not what i thought they were. they’re absolutely hilarious. out simply, the name roasts the status quo coming out of those early 70s, particularly the pretentiousness and ultimate hypocrisy of those on both sides or all sides of that era’s cultural divides, especially when it comes to not even seein the most basic and important matters of all, love. love and letting others be so that we ourselves can just be as we are, all of us free to find our own love and happiness.\ngreat lyrics, packed with fine little turns that sum up bigger themes, great production and beautiful harmonies make this one a bit more than whatever you might call a one-hit wonder.
