Supertramp knew before Pink Flyod ever did

[crazed 9.6]

"School"
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!

After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't let you work it out
- and you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?- Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come and put out your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
- you're coming along!



I think Supertramp's third album Crime of the Century, has alot of 'inside' wisdom involved.

How about the lyrics to Bloody Well Right !!





"Bloody Well Right"
So you think your schooling's phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
you know you got a right to say
Ha-ha you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
you know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!
Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry - no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right...



And there is the Asylum track

'I told them look I said, I am not the way you are thinking.
Please don't arrange to have me sent to no Asylum.
I am just as sane as anyone !'

The whole album is full of it .. and not the perferbeeal 'it'

Supertramp had some insight on chit !!
Their Crime of the Century album was not their only one either.
Their next album was titled...Crisis? What Crisis?
