““If you really want us to cause trouble, we could do a few stage appearances. We are more subversive when we go on stage.”
Then came Altamont in 1969. The Stones completely abandoned any revolutionary fervor after that.
Richards remarked “Then we understood who would be taking over the world and it scared the sh!t out of us”.
And let’s not forget Lennon’s “Revolution” in late 1968.

“Sweet Neo Con” - the Rolling Stones (2005)
You call yourself a Christian
I think that you’re a hypocrite
You say you are a patriot
I think that you’re a crock of s!!t
And listen now, the gasoline
I drink it every day
But it’s getting very pricey
And who is going to pay
How come you’re so wrong
My sweet neo con.... Yeah
It’s liberty for all
‘Cause democracy’s our style
Unless you are against us
Then it’s prison without trial
But one thing that is certain
Life is good at Haliburton
If you’re really so astute
You should invest at Brown & Root.... Yeah
How come you’re so wrong
My sweet neo con
If you turn out right
I’ll eat my hat tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
It’s getting very scary
Yes, I’m frightened out of my wits
There’s bombers in my bedroom
Yeah and it’s giving me the s!!ts
We must have lots more bases
To protect us from our foes
Who needs these foolish friendships
We’re going it alone
How come you’re so wrong
My sweet neo con
Where’s the money gone
In the Pentagon
Yeah ha ha ha
Yeah, well, well
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
