Verse 1
(G major) The Sixties was really stupid (F major)
(G minor) Okay, (G major) can you expand on that a
little bit more why you think the
Sixties were really (F major) stupid?
Well, it was the type of merchandising
(G major) Americans had this hideous
weakness, y'know?
They have this desire to be (E flat major) okay-
fun- guys- (B major) and- gals (D minor)
(D major) And (E flat major) they haven't come to (G major) terms with the
(F major) reality of the (D major) situation
We were not created (C major) equal
(G major) Some people can do carpentry,
some people can do mathematics
Some people are brain surgeons,
(F major) and some people are winos
And that's the way it is!
(E flat major) And, we're not all the same!
And this (G major) concept of one world is when
(F major) everything blended and
Smoothed out (E major) to this mediocre norm,
that everybody, uh (C major)
(E flat major) Downgrades themselves to (G major) be, is stupid
(F major) And (G major) the Sixties (F major) was
merchandised to the public at (G major) large
My pet theory about the Sixties (G major) is,
that there is a sinister plot behind it
But I don't wanna dwell upon that
(F major) Okay
Okay? (G major) They just that (F major) the lessons
(G major) learned in the Sixties (E minor) about
Merchandising stupidity to the American
(C major) public on a (E flat major) large scale have been
Used over and over again since
that (G major) time
"Freak Out!" and "Absolutely
Free" influenced (F major) a generation
Did they? Didn't sell that much
How they influence a generation? (C major) Come on,
tell me
(F major) That's what my questions says here
(G major) But that wasn't a question,
that (F major) was a statement
Then it was my statement
(G major) Looking (F major) back over all these
(E major) years and these records
How do you feel about them now?
About (F sharp minor) "Freak Out!" and "Absolutely
(G major) Free"? (F major)
Hrm, okay, for something that was done as
a four- track- recording (F major) twenty years ago
Y'know, I wouldn't
sit around listening to them
(G major) You don't think that they had any
(F major) influence on people?
Well, I know, that a lot of (C major) people were
vastly influenced by them
I've (F major) heard horror stories about that
But so what? They weren't
released to be influ (C major) ences
They were released as a form
of enter (F major) tainment for people who
Uh, didn't have that type of entertainment
before
You once said, listen, now that I'm
(F major) thirty years old
Now that I'm over the hill I really don't
give a shit, I don't care
Now, that you're over forty,
any comments?
Said it once, do I need (G major) to say it again? (G minor)
