Lyrics Young Conservatives - The Kinks

Young Conservatives

Have you heard the word?
The revolution’s over
Now the anger’s disappeared
And the rebels are much older
And the schools and universities
Are turning out a brand new breed of young conservatives
Get yourself a brand new scene
Keep your collars white and clean
It’s time to come and join the young conservatives
Revolution used to be cool
But now it’s out of fashion
Politeness is the rule
And not an angry young man’s passion
And they’ve used up all the alternatives
And they’re rushing down the street to join
The young conservatives
Conservatives
Ban the bomb, oh how contemporary
In your parents' car
Another chip off the block, is that all that you are?
Look at all the young conservatives
Hanging out in the bars
It’s got to stop before it goes too fa-fa-fa-fa-far
Get yourself some new attire
Set your sights a little higher
You’re going to join the young conservatives
The establishment is winning
Now the battle’s nearly won
The rebels are conforming
See the father, now the sons
All the urgency and energy
Have turned into complacency
Now the schools and universities are turning out a
Brand new breed of young conservatives
Conservatives
Rebel, rebel found a cause
Now it’s Hampstead not East End
And now he’s such a well respected man
The only action that you see
Is in the Sunday Times
Content to sit in bed and read between the lines
Rebel, rebel join the young conservatives
Be a devil join the new conservatives
It’s a victory for order
Now they’ve beaten everyone
The rebels are too old now
And the young just want to be young
All the urgency and energy
Have turned into complacency
Now the schools and universities are turning out a
Brand new breed of young conservatives
Conservatives
Look at all the young conservatives
Look at all the young conservatives
