People talkin 'bout solutions, over and over
'Bout how we need a revolution, over and over
I was talkin' 'bout ecology, over and over
How we'll be saved by technology, over and over
Oh, while the cat next door spends all his time
I'm a think up new antisocial crimes

I said, 'No', I said, 'Hang on a minute now'
I said, 'Let me outta here'
I said, 'No, no, no, oh'

People talkin' revolution, over and over
About a mass execution, over and over
Well, I was workin' in a factory, over and over
Just tryin' to make it satisfactory, over and over

But all these inclinations toward manic frustration
I want my vaccination against castration
Vietnam, what a sexy war
Uncle Sam's a pimp, wants us to be whores

I said, 'No', I said, 'I can't take much more of this
You better let me outta here'
I said, 'No, no, no, oh'

Oh you see, I need a release for my frustration
Oh don't you see, I can't hold my aggravation?
Oh no, no, no, no

I see people dyin', over and over
Why don't I sit around cryin'? Over and over
I see people takin', over and over
Why don't I sit around waitin'? Over and over

The cop on the street wants us down on our needs
The President says, 'We've got to have peace'
The other cat says, 'We need our liberation'
The hippies tellin' us, 'We're in the love generation'

I said, 'Whoa', I said, 'Hang on a minute now
This can't go on much longer'
I said, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa'

Over and over, over and over
Over and over, over and over
