292 - The sixties had iconic images

The sixties had iconic images
Like miniskirts, Mini cars and long hair,
Protests against the final vestiges
Of corporate society - oh yeah!
The seventies had trousers with wide flare,
And bright colours, and more sex than before,
And by then even oldies had long hair,
And Nixon burgled and ended a war.
When punk and disco came to stay, we saw
An end to rapid change, and the riches
That those rich sixties kids said we should share
Are kept by the few, like they were before.
The rest have overspent, and the hitch is
The economy’s crashing to the floor.
