Lyrics

[Verse 1]
People talkin' 'bout solutions (Over and over)
About how we need our revolution (Over and over)
Always talkin' 'bout ecology (Over and over)
How we'll be saved by technology (Over and over)
[Verse 2]
While the cat next door spends all his time
Tryin' to think up new antisocial crimes
[Verse 3]
I said, no
I said, hang on a minute, now
I said, let me out of here
I said, no, no, no
[Verse 4]
People talkin' revolution (Over and over)
And 'bout a mass execution (Over and over)
Well, I was workin' in a factory (Over and over)
Just tryna make things satisfactory (Over and over)
[Verse 5]
But all those inclinations toward manic frustration
Want my vaccination against castration
Vietnam, what a sexy war
Uncle Sam's a pimp, want us to be whores
[Verse 6]
I said, no
I said, I can't take much more of this
You better let me out of here
I said no, no, no
[Verse 7]
Ooh, you see I need a release from my frustrations
Ooh, don't you see I can't hold my aggravation?
No, no, no, no
[Verse 8]
I see people dyin' (Over and over)
I wanna sit around cryin' (Over and over)
I see people takin' (Over and over)
Why long and sit around waitin'? (Over and over)
[Verse 9]
The cop on the street wants us down on our knees
The president says we've got to have peace
The other cat says we need our liberation
The hippies tellin' us we're in the love generation
[Verse 10]
I said, whoa
I said, hang on a minute now
This can't go on much longer
I said, no, no, no
[Verse 11]
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
