Performed by
Jethro TullWhat Do You Do When the Old Man’s Gone? / From the Upper Class Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2]
I've come down from the upper class
To mend your rotten ways
My father was a man-of-power
Whom everyone obeyed
[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 4]
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
