Hey! The kids are not alright...

lyrics

Hey

Hippy kids who are ya
Hippy Kids who loves ya
Hippy kids who needs ya now

Freedom is a fickle friend she only went and let you down again
Sold you on to the corporation stole your ideas and your imagination

No boundaries and no school no discipline and no rules
Hey hey
Drop out n disappear like you were never really here were you?

Hippy kids who are ya
Hippy Kids who loves ya
Hippy kids where are ya now

On a spaceship to the moon good trip bad trip any trip will do
Waiting for the show to go on you put a sunflower in the barrel of a gun

Vida dreams of revolution Bobby’s on the road again
Hey hey
Andy says he loves confusion wants to start all over again and again and again and again

Hippy kids who are ya
Hippy kids who loves ya
Hippy kids where are you now

Hippy kids we want ya
Hippy kids we need ya
Hippy kids where are you now?
