Establishment Blues Songtext
von Jesus Rodriguez

The mayor hides the crime rate, council woman hesitates
Public gets irate, but forgets the vote date
Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it′s raining
Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting
You′re not like all of the rest

Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected
Politicians using people, they′re abusing
The mafia′s getting bigger, like pollution in the river
And you tell me that this is where it's at

I woke up this morning with an ache in my head
I splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed
I opened the window to listen to the news
But all I heard was the Establishment′s Blues


Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring
Divorce the only answer, smoking causes cancer
This system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune
And that′s a concrete cold fact

The pope digs population, freedom from taxation
Teeny Bops are up tight, drinking at a stoplight
Miniskirt is flirting, I can't stop, so I′m hurting
Spinster sells her hopeless chest

Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction
The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted
Living by a time piece, new war in the far east
Can you pass the Rorschach test?
It's a hassle, it's an educated guess
Well, frankly I couldn′t care less
