Establishment Blues

The mayor hides the crime rate, council woman hesitates
 Public gets irate, but forgets the vote date
 Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it's raining
 Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting
 You're not like all of the rest
 Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected
 Politicians using people, they're abusing
 The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river
 And you tell me that this is where it's at
 I woke up this morning with an ache in my head
 I splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed
 I opened the window to listen to the news
 But all I heard was the Establishment's Blues
 Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring
 Divorce the only answer, smoking causes cancer
 This system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune
 And that's a concrete cold fact
 The pope digs population, freedom from taxation
 Teeny Bops are up tight, drinking at a stoplight
 Miniskirt is flirting, I can't stop, so I'm hurting
 Spinster sells her hopeless chest
 Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction
 The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted
 Living by a time piece, new war in the far east
 Can you pass the Rorschach test?
 It's a hassle, it's an educated guess
 Well, frankly I couldn't care less
