The other day, I was listening to some old 33 LP's.
My humble opinion: Grand Funk was/is perhaps one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands that ever existed.
The "We're an American Band" album was produced by Todd Rundgren.
I would like to share some lyrics with y'all.
The music behind the lyrics is quite haunting.


Grand Funk Railroad - Creepin
------------------------------

Hey, everybody won't you lend me your ear,
There's something to fear, it's here, and that's clear.
Men gettin' rich off rapin' the land,
I can't understand, why we don't take them in hand.

Woah, oh ... lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin',
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

Feel that our lives are in the hands of fools,
Loosin' their cool, it's us that they rule.
Too many people sittin' dead on their @ss,
They ain't got no class, people, this time must pass.

Woah, oh ... lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Hey ... I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin',
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

Woah, oh ... yeah, tomorrow comes creepin'.

Oh ... hear me cryin' 'cause the people like me,
That long to be free, are not actually.
Please everybody won't you hear this song,
Help a country that's wrong, to someday be strong.

Woah, oh ... lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
No! lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin',
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin'.
 
I agree that GFR is a GREAT band of one of many GREAT bands.
GFR is on the top of my list. Following is my favorite of GFR:

Grand Funk Railroad - Into The Sun

Rising, setting, been trying to get into the sun yeah
Wanting, getting, gonna' get more baby when I'm done
All my life I had been waiting, then you turn me on
Now there'll be no hesitating, I'm getting into the sun
Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday yeah
Needing, succeeding, sun don't go away
Things are changing for the better, now I'm not afraid
I'll be writing you a letter, 'cause I just got paid
Growing, knowing, you learn more everyday yeah
Needing, succeeding, sun don't go away
Things are changing for the better, now I'm not afraid
I'll be writing you a letter, 'cause I just got paid
