What Do You Do When the Old Man's Gone?/From the Upper Class - Jethro Tull

What do you do when the old man’s gone — do you want to be him?

And your real self sings the song.

Do you want to free him?

No one to help you get up steam

and the whirlpool turns you 'way off-beam.

LATER.

I’ve come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways.

My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed.

So come on all you criminals!

I’ve got to put you straight

just like I did with my old man twenty years too late.

Your bread and water’s going cold.

Your hair is too short and neat.

I’ll judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me.
