...pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small") is an eerie echo of Lewis Carroll's Alice, that mop-haired, pioneering freak-out and her oldtimey, mind-blowing Wonderland. The Airplane likes to blur and disconnect its musical phrases, creating the aural equivalent of double vision...
...their own imaginations, and one somehow expects the social outlaw, the man who just couldn't keep down the urge to throw a brick through a window, to be a little less-contained in front of the easel.

He suggested that prosperous nations might well subsidize the exports of poor countries by agreements guaranteeing prices of the underdeveloped world's commodities. "Freedom of trade," the Pope contended, "is fair only if it is subject to the demands of social justice." He renewed his call, made during his 1964 visit to Bombay, for a world fund made...
