Like “this is how people see things” where is the sanity? I prefer to think that chorus negates the verses in question. It’s definitely highlighting dichotomies, and maybe extreme concerns of the era. The sanity line and chorus makes it open to maybe say these types of views and judgements, seeing things in this way, where is the sanity? I’d love to change this shallow viewpoint. You can read those first lines as being in quotation marks “freaks and haries / hares, dykes and faeries” - tell me where is sanity? My interpretation is either it is basically conservative, or at the very least maybe expressing disillusionment with answers and behaviors of the left counterculture. Obviously there is a highlighting of the (apparent) dichotomy of the era. Cappotra from CnyA lot of opinions and interpretations are here, but seems like no one really knows what was meant.That is what you call a timeless classic! It's quite remarkable how it's message still holds true today. Musically it's really a folk song but with a blues rock influence layered over top with a heavy backbeat and a distorted guitar. Could be a conservative view of how out of control the world was becoming. Englishjello from OntarioWritten at the time of hippies ("Freaks and hairies"), sexual revolution ("Dykes and fairies"), consumerism ("Tax the rich") and the Vietnam war ("Stop the war").Humans seem to create the problems we have to live with from generation to generation. Just as Pride of man by Quicksilver Message Service. It says a lot and has always prompted some deep thought. Red Hoss from Leesburg, FloridaI’ve loved this song since I first heard it back in early 70s.I would be good to see him interviewed on the meaning of those lyrics as they apply today.
It's good that he throws in the overpopulation reference, truer than ever but you're not supposed to be candid about it. I can't see how they can be interpreted as anything but cynical about leftist revolutions. Crime Victims Matter from OregonThe beginning lyrics are clearly against what's called "woke" in the 2020s.Jay from UsaThe year is 2022 and these lyrics are even more relevant today than they were then.I grew up in the 70's, Ten Years After was one of my fav bands, there with the Dead and the Band Jeff from OkIt is one of my fav songs of all time.Captain from Socalinequality? back in the 70s protests it was a rare word.We want to thank our families and close friends who are constantly supporting us in a lot of different ways.
