I sat in Chairy-Chair and let my Mind wander.......this "arrived" :
" I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do."
I had to think about the Source or Origin of that lyric, none was forthcoming, so I had to "Search" . The title of the song is exactly, "I Want To Change The World" --- it was composed by Alvin Lee and performed by his Band "Ten Years After" circa 1971 {I was a Freshman at U. Conn.} . Previously, I had no familiarity with Ten Years After until Woodstock, the Movie, was released, and Ten Years After became Famous . The Song "haunted" me then, does so now .
You Qids know I am an old man, some days Recall is instantaneous and VIVID, other days "IT's" a fucking Blur, wrapped in Fog and smothered in Clouds ---- . I "Searched" for the lyrics and ... .
"I want to save the World , but I don't know what to do " = A statement of which ALL of US can relate,, but guys like me feel >IT< egregiously . The 3rd stanza is Special :
"World pollution, there's no solution, institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich and poor, them and us
WE'LL STOP THIS WAR !!!
I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do
SO I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU...
It's called luck .
You can see it rite ?
You an see it r
