Spoken aside following the sung line, "... like waves on the ocean":
Like in a tycoon
heard in the song, The Sloop Dance, by The Vibrations, later covered
by a group whose name escapes me and renamed "My Girl Sloopy."

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have
found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be
imposed upon them.
