about

Nothing stays the same, the counterculure is no more, there is no us and them, no straights vs heads, no alternative ideas, all the roads to freedom disappear...

lyrics

Say goodbye to the summer of love
Its goodbye Paris, San Francisco & goodbye London
Goodbye Kool-Aid Acid Test
Goodbye Ken, goodbye Allen and goodbye to all the rest

Goodbye Bob and Richard too
Goodbye Jack, goodbye Joni we’re all gonna miss you
At the death of the counter culture


Beautiful people holding hands peace n love n rock n roll bands
Ban the bomb stop the war it’s what we’re all fighting for
Not the death of the counterculture

In unison we sang such a sweet refrain
Of stick it to man in the hard rain
But the establishment plays such a long game
Tomorrow never knows it can never be the same
It’s the death of the counterculture

There’s a revolution in the head she said she said she said she said
Kick out the jams break down the door it’s what we’re all fighting for
It’s the death of the counterculture

And it’s a goodbye David
Goodbye Jimi
Goodbye Neil
Goodbye Chrissy

Bobby was a Ted Tammy was a rocker
Judy was playgirl and a real showstopper
Peter was hippy a protest singer
Jordan was a punk rock gun slinger

At the death of the counterculture
It’s the death of the counterculture…
Death death death death death death death death,,,
The death of the counterculture
