A blast from the past by a band writing about the Nixonian present of 1970 as projected into the future by Orwell twenty years earlier. Cooler than you drummer Ed Cassidy had already been in the Navy for a stint at WWII by that time, and later went on to play jazz with Roland Kirk and Thelonious Monk, and blues with Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder; his stepson Randy Wolfe (aka California) shared guitar duties with Jimi Hendrix in the Blue Flames; and they had a bass player with perfect hair. Because of it's 'stand up and fight' lyrics, this song was never allowed to be the massive hit it should have been, but it still sounds pretty damn snappy and relevant to this very day.
