The song most obviously mocks Liberal icons and ideas. It is a growing up song for Alvin Lee. It is his coming to terms with the inherent contradictions within the chants of the Woodstock crowd. In his own words in a short explanation of his song, he says:

"5. I'd Love to Change the World:

On the news media again. I realized that the world was definitely not living up to my hopes, I find it difficult enough to control my own life. Yes the world could use some changes, but who can make decisions for other people's lives, only the ignorant I fear."

The stunning thing about his song, to Alvin too, is that he could sing it to the face of Woodstock hippies, and even today, Michael Moore can play it in his despicable movie F.9/11, and neither the irresponsible 60's hippie nor the opportunistic Clintonistas today seem to get it. Like some of you right here. (Which, I think, is why you have to make up lyrics to turn it against Republicans, Conservatives, Christians or anyone else who has contributed to the American Way--that Liberals hate but live off of.)

Odd, I thought conservatives were opposed to social change, as is implied by the title of the song.

Hauntingly melancholic almost to the point of being bleak, the lyrics bewail the proliferation of certain liberal sacred cows, as well as the liberal mania for robbing from Peter to give to Paul.

The liberal version:

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is Xanadu
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more...


The convervative version:

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the poor, feed my pockets
There is an Arab, where are the rockets...

"I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do-oo. So I'll leave it all to you-ou . . . " Great guitar, an underrated band named for having formed 10 years after 1955, the mythical year of the birth of Rock 'n Roll.
