Ten Years After Lyrics


Formed in Nottingham, England, as the Jaybirds in 1965,
they abandoned their pedestrian title for a name that
slotted in with the booming underground progressive music
scene. The quartet of Alvin Lee (b. 19 December 1944,
Nottingham, England; guitar, vocals), Chick Churchill (b. 2
January 1949, Mold, Flint/Clywd, Wales; keyboards), Ric Lee
(b. 20 October 1945, Cannock, Staffordshire, England;
drums) and Leo Lyons (b. 30 November 1943, Bedford,
England; bass) played a mixture of rock 'n' roll and blues
that distinguished them from the More...

    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

I too am almost 50, but was only seven when this song came out. Yeah I had longish hair and a peace sign on the back of my denim vest, but I had older brothers and sisters who I was taught by. I didn't know much other than I fell in love with the music not the meaning of the lyrics. I would like to see Obama and his ilk in one of them. I am against the current war, but war is a fact of life for without war there is no peace!
Like I like listening too good music I like watching good movies. The music world, like academia and Hollywood, is inherently liberal hence the abundance of anti-Bush videos accompanying this song. Too many young people get their political beliefs from movie stars, teachers and musicians when they should just shut up and do their jobs.

    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

Which are the correct lyrics for this verse. You say More pollution, there's no solution, restitution, mass confusion, spread the word, rich or poor, save the earth, stop the was but almost every other lyric source says- world pollution, there's no solution, institution, electrocution,just black and white, rich or poor, them and us, stop the war. Who's correct? Thank you.

    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

This is one of those wonderful songs that either side can interpret to their liking. That is, unless you're a freak, hairy, gay or lesbian. "Tax the rich, feed the poor, till we run out, rich no more" is a brilliant line. Depending on your view, you can take it as desirable or undesirable, exemplary or sardonic. One thing we do know: whether we haven't taxed the rich enough, or we've given too much to the poor, the radical effect America's debt has had on our economy has made both sides poorer.

    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

i first heard this song through a cover,well bits of it, and thought the lyric went "i love you changed the world" and the melody turned it from trivial to absolutely beautiful, like "i can see colours from the music" beautiful...then i looked up the lyrics, and wow, how ugly n disillusioned(excuse the spelling)it actually is..

I first heard this song in the early 70s . It was powerful for me then and still resonates as one of my all time favourite songs despite the depression that washes over me when I hear it ,thanks for posting the lyrics .

    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

I love this song. But I am rich.

But I was a hippie, now at 53 I think the lyrics are more cynical. Tax the Rich Feed the Poor
Till there is no rich no more.

Exactly, the rich pay most of the taxes, employee most of the world Get rid of the rich and you cut off your nose to spite your face.

Pete Townsend wrote- I hope I die before I get old

Today he says it was a stupid lyric. With age comes wisdom.

Still this is a fantastic song and I like the call for peace and social justice. To me however, that is not a liberal's only hope.

"The line about "till there are no rich no more" is not implying that this is a bad thing - it's a radical statement saying they wanted to see an end all the hoarding of wealth and greed by the upper class."
So they gave their profits to charity. Maybe they did their concerts for expenses only. Give me a break.

60s Classic! | Reviewer: Beth Isbell
    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

First, the lyrics posted here are slightly wrong -- in 2nd stanza of verse three original hit version (also on essential 10 years after) says: " Just black OR white, rich OR poor, them OR us, stop the war." What the band is saying is stop the hate, stop the classification and categorization - it's us OR them mentality.

Second, it's sort of funny to read all these comments on this and other sites about how this is supposedly a "very Republican song" etc., ... this song could not be more liberal. The band was very pro - peace and writing to the peaceniks and love children of the 60s revolution. The line about "till there are no rich no more" is not implying that this is a bad thing - it's a radical statement saying they wanted to see an end all the hoarding of wealth and greed by the upper class. The 2nd verse "no none for me" and 3rd verse "rich OR poor" simply confirms this was actually their point of view. It's a very Lennon-esque message if you think about it. Peace.



Still Love it. | Reviewer: lee
    ------ About the song I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD performed by Ten Years After

I was around when this song came out, we just can't change the world. They wont let us, and you know who they is. Also listen to Jesse Collin Young and the Youngbloods song called Smile On Your Brother. Thats a killer. Just one key unlocks the door and it is at your command.
