what the song is about. it is about civil unrest and upheaval in the streets of America and the social changes happening at that time, the "generation gap," etc... You are attacking me for ignorance, I love the song, what I don't love is the self congratulatory crap coming from self-satisfied "Boomers," about the generation that produced the song, while achieving very little to change the underlying issues that the song raised.
