I'd Love To Change The World

I will enjoy this song for as long as I live, even if go deaf along the way.

Alvin Lee: words and music; guitars and vocals
Chick Churchill: keyboards
Leo Lyons: bass
Ric Lee: drums

Here's a nice remix:

And here's a nice remaster:

Most of Alvin's lyrics were brilliant, in my opinion, except for this one, which was only spectacular!
RIP Alvin Lee
Everywhere is
freaks and hairies
dykes and fairies
Tell me where is
sanity?
Tax the rich
feed the poor
till there are no
rich no more
I'd love to change the world
but I don't know what to do
so I'll leave it up to you

Population
keeps on breeding
nation bleeding
still more feeding
economy
Life is funny
skies are sunny
Bees make honey
Who needs money?
Monopoly!
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution
there's no solution
Institution
electrocution
Black and white
rich or poor
Them and us
We'll stop the war!
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
