kinks - The Contenders (Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Part One)
Hush little mammy don't you cry
I've got to see what it's like on the world outside
Got to get out of this life somehow
Got to be free, got to be free now
I don't want to be a constructor of highways
A sweeper of sidewalks, I've got to do it my way
I'm too ill-equipped for a mathematician
A shrewd politician, a maker of decisions
We're not the greatest when when we're separated
But when we're together I think we're going to make it
I don't want to be like a fascist dictator
A saint or a sinner, I want to be a winner
Drumming to the Kinks song The Contenders (Powerman) (02:39)
Great Kinks song!

A lot of the "cool ppl" are very dead at this time. I chose health & fitness a long time ago. What's wrong with "conservative middle class values?" I have learned to avoid the extremes. As for being a sixtiessunflowergirl--I embrace peace, monogamous love, good health practices,excercise, whole foods, environmental concerns--but abhor drugs (even prescribed)--and the insanity that goes along with recreational drug usage.

Been listening to the Kinks since I was 9 way back in 2002. Didn't realize what this song was about until I was 14. I still love it, anyway. Awesome guitar lick!
