With a tune like 5 to 1, you are gravely mistaken. If you are a proponent of the state this song should scare you.

"Five To One"

> Yeah, c'mon I love my girl She lookin' good C'mon One more

> Five to one, baby

> One in five

> No one here gets out alive, now

> You get yours, baby

> I'll get mine

> Gonna make it, baby If we try

What's the ratio being referenced here? You think this song is about people vs the state, but the people outnumber public officials far greater than 5:1 ratio. Maybe I'm wrong, but 5 to 1 doesn't sound like the correct ratio of common citizens to politicians or whatever.

> The old get old

> And the young get stronger

> May take a week

> And it may take longer

> They got the guns

> But we got the numbers

> Gonna win, yeah

> We're takin' over

> Come on!

This seems like the song is about dems vs republicans in a local area. "They got guns but" implies the other side doesn't, "we got numbers" implies they are a larger movement 5x the size. If I had to guess, this is a reference to the political divide in California.

> Your ballroom days are over, baby

> Night is drawing near

> Shadows of the evening

> Crawl across the years

"Ballroom days" likely is a reference to a more classical time when music was sophisticated and formal. Makes sense for the 1960s.

> Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand

> Trying to tell me no one understands

Idk what this part means

> Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes

> Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime

Probably sarcastically complaining about low wages or the spread of drugs "dimes"

> Come together one more time

> Get together one more time

> Get together one more time

> Get together, aha

> Get together one more time!

> Get together one more time!

> Get together one more time!

> Get together one more time!

> Get together one more time!

> Get together, got to, get together

One more time? That was ten lol typical shitty pop music.

> Hey, c'mon, honey

> You won't have a long wait for me, baby

> I'll be there in just a little while

> You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and

Revelation of the method, here he is admitting his obligation to "these people".

> Get together one more time

> Get together one more time

> Get together, got to

> Get together, got to

> Get together, got to

> Take you up in my room and

> Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah

> Love my girl

> She looking good, looking real good

> Love you, come on

Dude can't not sing about sex in any one song.

Anyways, I don't think that scared any proponents of the state, a proponent of the state probably wrote it.

5 to 1 is ratio of young people to older generations at the time.
