Establishment doctrine

In the USA

Make you very uptight

You don't want

Anybody standing in your way

Plan your revolution

But you mustn't fail

Examine eyery angle

Or you'll find the power people

Putting you in jail

Because the old ones

Are going to put you down

They want the longhairs out of town

They've forgotten they were rebels too

Fighting for freedom back in '42

But how will you be feeling

Twenty years from now

When all your sons and daughters

Will be criticising you

For the things you do?

Keep your head together

Accept reality

Don't become a druggie

Unless you're

Too weak to face responsibility

Take initial action

Show them you are fair

Show them you're constructive

Abide by the laws

Or you will be nowhere

Tell the old ones what has got to be

Point the finger-

It's up to you and me

Get the nation aware of what is wrong

We need to feel

We've got a home where we belong

So study your behavior

Before you criticise

You'll need a lot of leaders

To clear away

Hypocrisy and wars and lies

Don't put off another day

What you could do today!
