Pete Townshend - The Sixties lyrics

I have a painter friend who says he actually slept with Jacqueline Kennedy... Or was it John Kennedy? Maybe it was Jacqueline Bisset At any rate, I can tell I'm starting wrong Let me begin again There is a new breed of man He's got a wife and some kids He works behind a desk Beside a computer He watches a lot of television Belongs to a health club Drinks things like Cutty and 7... whatever that is He wears faded Levis and Gucci loafers His hair is long and perfectly groomed He smokes the best marijuana Wears a gold coke spoon in his pocket And his speech is riddled with jargon like: Far out Do your own thing I hear you Into it Blow my mind And freak You know, I'm a sports freak I'm a jazz freak I'm a video freak He hates accident Never questions authority [Chorus] Politicians don't debate They transcendental meditate Stock brokers aren't in at ten They're all strung out on h**n Baseball players aren't so square They've got beards and stringy hair Car dealers don't just sell drive trains They sometimes also deal c**aine When he was younger and out struggling to climb the ladder He used to fight with his wife Or have a night out with the boys And he'd maybe go to a bar and try to pick up some strange If you get my drift And after a while, he started hearing about free love And he felt left out And he tortured his imagination dreaming of pot parties With those suntanned girls in halter tops with their cutoffs Slit up to their belt loops Then he saw a picture in Playboy of Ursula Andress On the arm of some hippie And that did it He began his rebellion late But now he's got a designer camper And one time he even got to sleep in it with One of those girls in the cutoffs But it made me feel awful Cause he had to pay her fifty dollars And it was twenty for anybody else [Chorus] Here's the brave new world On a mirror 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 20 30 40 50 60 60 60 60 Keep all the bad, hey And destroy all the good Keep all the bad, hey And destroy all the good Keep all the bad, destroy all the good Keep all the bad, destroy all the good Keep all the bad Destroy all the good Keep all the bad Destroy all the good [Repeat x2]
