“We have constructed a system we can’t control. It imposes itself on us, and we become its slaves and victims.” -- Thich Nhat Hanh

"We could laugh our lives away, and be free once more." - Ride Captain Ride

IMO: you would have to understand the 60s, and anti-establishment movement, to really understand this song.

The song is a call to leave the current system. Be free and happy. But sadly, most people are "too busy watching those old raindrops fall" to hear the call.
