[edit] Lyrics interpretation

I think the article goes too far with its interpretation of the lyrics; if you think it's about "frustration" with the "failed optimism" of the 1960s, that opinion needs to be better supported with specific quotes from the lyrics. I think the lyrics are vague enough that one interpretation is probably not sufficient. Vandelay 16:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Lyrical interpretation

Actually, this song perfectly describes Sly Stone's frustration with the world around him as well as his frustration with the record company's demand on him to continously produce songs like "Stand" and "Hot Fun In The Summertime". As the '60's came to an end, musicians like Marvin Gaye ("What's Going On?") began to reflect the changes. Stone simply wished to do the same.
