[Refrain]

Oh, but you been feelin' long

Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister, why you have to make us so uptight?

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Well, I know what you're doing
All that you been doin' wrong
I don't know what you're feelin'
Oh, but you been feelin' long
[Post-Chorus]
Well, you think that you're right
Oh, tell me something, mister, why you have to put us so uptight?
Yeah, yeah
