Age of Corruption Lyrics by Alan Klein

1965

Let's record a song with words of protest in it
Make it controversial so the DJ's will spin it
Tell the world what's wrong with it in less than three minutes
So count up to three after me, and begin it
Let's jump on the bandwagon, my friends
Can't you see
This is the age of corruption
We'll make it obscure, so no one can understand it
And then when we hear that the radio has banned it
And the record reviewers on the papers have panned it
We'll laugh all the way to the bank, like we planned it
Let's jump on the bandwagon, my friends
Can't you see
This is the age of corruption
We'll denounce all wars as just senseless killings
Purify your minds for the price of six shillings
Now let's all bow down and pray to Bob Dylan
And Donovan, and Joni, and [unknown]
And let's jump on the bandwagon, my friends
Can't you see
This is the age of corruption
Somewhere along the line, we gotta' bring in segregation
Well, I ain't sure what that means, 'cause I ain't had no education
Been too busy getting high, making [unknown] observations
Doin' one night stands, and touring TV stations
Fighting for your freedom, and attending demonstrations
And all the time, a weekly show is climbing up the ratings
And I'm blowin' in the wind
I'm trying to catch the wind
I'm chasin' the wind
And racin' the wind
Now I'm travelin' so fast
I'm passin' the wind
So let's jump on the bandwagon, my friends
Can't you see
This is the age of corruption
We gotta warn the eastern world to stop their eruptions
For it can only end in total nuclear destruction
And if it does, you'll be the one
To buy my records, read my poems
And listen to my mock[?] songs
Before we die
Before we fry
Blow sky-high
And say goodbye
The end is nigh
Let's jump on the bandwagon, my friends
Can't you see
This is the age of corruption
