Status quo is a Latin term meaning the present, current, existing state of affairs. To maintain the status quo is to keep things the way they presently are. Compare it with status quo ante, meaning "the state of things as it was before."

Status quo means the current state of affairs, or current position. The existing state of things. Leaving things without modifying them.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!!!! Technically Status Quo means the way things were before. It is a shortened version of the expression status quo ante bellum, meaning the way things were before the war. However, in the song it is misused, as it generally is, to say that people should stick to the current situation. Either that or it is suggesting that people listen to a British rock band from the seventies
