Timothy Leary - A Message to Young People lyrics

This record is a message to young people. For people under the age of 25, and certainly to people under the age of 40. If you are over the age of 40, i'm not sure that you should listen to this record. What i'm going to say might make you mad. I don't like to get people mad. I particularly don't like to get people over the age of 40 mad because these are the people who have guns and handcuffs and prisons, and a wide variety of instruments of metal with which they punish people who get them mad. Young people for the most part, aren't so concerned with control and power. They are much more worried about having fun, being curious, exploring your sensual equipment, making love, trying to learn what its all about. I have personal experience which has taught me with how fierce people over 40 can be with those who challenge their beliefs. Down in Texas, there was a group of men over 40 who got so mad at what i'm saying that they sentenced me to prison for 30 years, and up here in New York state, there[s] another group of men, over 40, who want to put me in jail for another 16 years, for saying the sort of thing I may say on this record.
