THE HIPPIES WERE RIGHT … it’s a true story
Verse 1
Seems like every time you look around the Hippies were right about what’s going down
Natures spring water right from the ground now sold in plastic by the pound
Forests of trees, they’re oxygen producin’, for corporate greed they’ll soon be reducin’
Livin’ on the land down in New Mexico plantin’ your seeds and makin’ ‘em grow
Chorus
Enlightened in thought, a pure future was sought, dismissed as a plot and affected by pot
But as it turned out the Hippies were right just look around it will give you a fright
Verse 2
Now there are wars all around us at home and abroad some maybe ligit some born of fraud
But kids are still dying for somebody’s God thought we put a stop to that in Viet Nam
Our leaders are liars, power junkies and thieves, addicted to tax, our money, their needs
At some point in time they will pay for their deeds but right here and now it’s up to you and me
Chorus
Enlightened in thought, a pure future was sought, dismissed as a plot and affected by pot
But as it turned out the Hippies were right just look around it will give you a fright
Bridge
We don’t really think for ourselves anymore we got plenty of masters to tell us what for
We don’t see the sky like they did before or hear that sweet music waft through the door
The Hippies were right, they were on a good flight, could’ve been the acid, the pot or sunlight
Don’t know how it happened how we came to lose sight but looking back the Hippies were right.
Verse 3
The corporate cowboys are selling us down they don’t want us gumming up their part of town
If it was sink or swim they would let us all drown no flower children dancin’ round and round
Are they corporations or is it organised crime they got the food, the gas and the time
They hold us up for ransom gotta tow the line we need to love one another all of man kind
Chorus – Outro
Enlightened in thought, a pure future was sought, dismissed as a plot and affected by pot
But as it turned out the Hippies were right just look around it will give you a fright
Enlightened in thought, a pure future was sought, dismissed as a plot and affected by pot
But as it turned out them ol’ Hippies were right just look around it will give you a fright
