An Old Hippie Song
I saw an old Hippie in his new Armani suit
Driving his new Mercedes Benz
He pulled up front to the new Commerce Bank
With his leather brief case he went in
He said hello to his old Hippie friends
Got his three grand and headed out again
Walks outside stopped and looked around
Got in his Mercedes and headed out of town
I saw and old Hippie she works at the store
She doesn't come down here and protest anymore
She's got two teenagers that she tries to case
I remember that time she wore butterflies on her face
Now she heads home at nine after work in the dark
Sits down in front of the TV and dreams of the park
Takes care of her man who works late at night
She drifts off to sleep and leaves on the lights
Now we don’t have peace and love anymore
A full moon risen knocking at our suburban doors
We've got a better life got that big money roll
We've got kids killing kids so we reap what we sow
Maybe its time we get back to the fight
We give up our freedom we give up our rights
We've abandon our children for that big money roll
We've got kids killing kids so we reap what we sow
Repeat first verse
