The Guess Who Lyrics

    ------ About the song No Time performed by The Guess Who

NO TIME is about leaving things behind."On my way to better things." It is the road to freedom. " I found myself some wings".No time left for old things. Sacrifice has to be made to call freedom your own.One of the best songs from one of the "Greatest" rock bands of
ALL TIME! The guitar is brilliant.. Burtons' vocals are soaring and badass. The BEST of THE BEST. If you don't know this one you have missed a universe...It has survived the test through decades. Still an important song to take seriously. Feel the freedom and live it !

    ------ About the song American Woman performed by The Guess Who

I dont care what anyone has to say about it. this song is probably one of the most patriotic songs that this country has. these guys are not trying to say anything bad at all, all they are saying is they grew up being taught morals, growing up in a close nit kind of town where everybody knows everybody and they werent used to seeing dirty diseased cities like they saw when the first came to america, they didnt understand how the government could just step into your life and tell you what you are and what your not going to do when it comes to the draft, all because america was supposed to be a democracy and to them it seemed more like a dictatorship. like it or not this country has fallen down and this song isnt directed to the american people as a whole but its directed towards the select group of americans who voted in the greedy lying scum and its directed towards our corrupt government. the government wasnt at all close to being perfect back then and it seems like this country would learn from its mistakes but some people are stupid/ignorant and will never learn or grow and better themselves and make better life choices for themselves or their families. this songs true meaning holds even more relevance to todays america than it did when it was first written. America has became an abomination it has lost all sense of morality and has slapped God in the face. in the end though God will take care of His own even as the rest of our lost nation suffers. Gods ways are higher than any law passed by a godless government and all will have to answer for their choices in life one day. This band wrote this in support of the foundation that america was built upon and yet so many of you sit here and ridicule them for it. So why don't you people just get out of this country and then it will be better off for people like me and my family who actually care about living in a great and Godly nation. Thank you and goodbye <3

    ------ About the song American Woman performed by The Guess Who

But, you owe all you got to British Imperialism and the Imperialism of the "American Woman".

And, what is your contribution, besides myopic criticism of America, to the ongoing successes of this world? Bob and Doug McKenzie? Donuts and Beer? A couple of Canadian nobodies on SCTV until some Hollywood Big Wigs got involved.

Or, how about that horrible legacy of your own called the Department of Indian Affairs.

You Imperialistic Pigs Colonized your country 300 years ago and still treat your Aboriginals like second class citizens.

Or, how about Aboriginal Women's rights in Canada? How about all them women you got missing in that back forty? Or, a health care system that is falling apart?

Or, all that dope you grow and sell to US? And, the apparent billions of American dollars you must be laundering annually through your Canadian banks and Real Estate Industry?

Check your heads Canadians. Cuz, we are not stupid.


Sincerely yours

The Red, White, Black and Fuggin Blue.

    ------ About the song American Woman performed by The Guess Who

Americans don't like non-Americans criticizing their country. Yet this song (written and performed by Canadians) criticizing both the Vietnam War and the United States became one of the most popular songs in the United States. It still is very popular there to this day.

    ------ About the song Guns, Guns, Guns performed by The Guess Who

Burton announced on stage from a recent concert video ," Guns Guns Guns ", is one of his favorite Guess Who songs. I can clearly understand. The song is about real life topics. " Mother Nature "... At the time the song was recorded Mother Nature was facing grave issues. How much more even today ? It has a lot to say if you open your ears and minds' eye. "God speed Mother Nature ,Never really wanted to say goodbye...". You can feel and hear the sadness in Burtons' voice. A song that is important in message content. LISTEN WITH CARE...

    ------ About the song Undun performed by The Guess Who

Upon hearing this song for the first time,I simply fell in love with the lyrics and the jazz/rock sound and feel.The flute is the icing on the cake. There is no other song even remotely the same.I refuse to listen to any other version. Yeah, I'm a hardcore fan. Besides the fact this song stands on it's own as one of the finest rock songs ever written. Making Burton Cummings lead singer was one of the best choices ever made in rock history. " Undun " never ages. It is fresh and brilliant with every listen. Biased opinion or not, this is a GREAT song!

I'm embarassed to say that I just understood that this song is about Imperialism. I used to be a bit baffled when it would play on the "oldies" station in the eighties. Beings I was just a preschooler during the late sixties, I simply tuned out everything about Viet Nam as I was coming of age.

    ------ About the song Glamour Boy performed by The Guess Who

This is a great song sung by lead vocalist ,Burton Cummings of "The Guess Who. The song is complete with strings and piano.The applause along with the " Ricky and the Balloons " added more dimension and a touch of drama which complimented the piece in a flattering way.The true magic is in Burton Cummings beautiful, strong, and powerful vocals. I rate this song an infinity of stars thanks to Burton Cummings and his magical piano... Tonya Alana Johnson

    ------ About the song American Woman performed by The Guess Who

The band is just 'Guess Who' (originally Chad Allan & The Expressions) and some PR person at Quality records promoted the performers of 'Shakin All Over' as Guess Who? (and later it was revealed that it was Chad Allan and the Expressions). "Guess Who" stuck.

American Woman is not about women at all. It's about the United States and the attitudes and policies of the country. Canada, rather than considering those who protested the war as 'pussies', supported those who left. One of my math teachers was a 'draft-dodger' and we considered him to to be brave in his protest. It takes guts to have to leave everything you know behind to express your beliefs.

The person who wrote the review 'the real reason' is correct. A friend of mine, who is a female from the US, said that Americans are stupid enough to actually believe this song is about American women. (Not my comment, it's hers).

I personally thought it was funny when Lenny Kravitz played his version on the Grammys and the crowd cheered. Made the point that they really had NO idea what the song was about.

Read the words to things before you think you know what they're about.
