HE'LL BE FORTY-FIVE
COME WEDNESDAY
HIS GRAY HAIR
IS GETTIN' THIN
BUT HE'S STILL
HANGIN' IN THERE
DON'T FEEL TOO BAD
FOR THE SHAPE HE'S IN
HE'S SEEN YUPPIES
IN THE WHITE HOUSE
BUT HE THINKS
THEY'RE GONNA FAIL
'CAUSE HE JUST DON'T
TRUST A PRESIDENT
THAT NEVER
HAS INHALED
AND HE PRAYS TO GOD
TO STOP THIS CRIME
BUT IT SEEMS
TO NO AVAIL
WELL HE STILL LOVES
COUNTRY MUSIC
BUT HE'S BEEN LEFT
OUT IN THE DARK
'CAUSE THEY DON'T PLAY
MERLE AND GEORGE
NO MORE
HE DON'T KNOW
BILLY RAY FROM GARTH
AND HE'S HEARD OF
WOODSTOCK TWO
BUT IT NEVER
COULD COMPETE
'CAUSE HE WAS THERE
THE DAY THAT HENDRIX
PLAYED THE ANTHEM
WITH HIS TEETH
BACK WHEN ALL
THOSE GRUNGE BANDS
COULDN'T EVEN
KEEP A BEAT
HE'S AN OLD HIPPIE
EVEN OLDER
THAN BEFORE
WONDERIN' WHAT TO
PAY ATTENTION TO
AND WHAT SHOULD
HE IGNORE
HE'S AN OLD HIPPIE
STILL ADJUSTIN'
TO THE CHANGE
HE'S JUST TRYIN' TO
FIND SOME BALANCE
IN A WORLD GONE
TOTALLY INSANE
HE STILL THINKS BACK
ON THE SIXTIES
BUT NOT IN
THE SAME WAY
'CAUSE THEY'VE BUILT
A WALL TO HIS WAR
THEN FORGOT
THE M.I.A.'S
AND HE'S TRIED TO BE
A NINETIES MAN
BUT IT'S TOO MUCH
OF A BORE
'CAUSE FAX MACHINES
AND CELL PHONES
AIN'T WHAT HE
WAS PUT HERE FOR
AND IN A WORLD
SELLIN' SEX AND YOUTH
HE'S THE LAST
OLD DINOSAUR
HE'S AN OLD HIPPIE
EVEN OLDER
THAN BEFORE
WONDERIN' WHAT TO
PAY ATTENTION TO
AND WHAT SHOULD
HE IGNORE
HE'S AN OLD HIPPIE
STILL ADJUSTIN'
TO THE CHANGE
HE'S JUST TRYIN' TO
FIND SOME BALANCE
IN A WORLD GONE
TOTALLY INSANE
WELL HE COMES ON
HOME FROM WORK NOW
TO TAKE SOME TIME
UP WITH THE KIDS
TRY TO TEACH THEM
RIGHT FROM WRONG
HOPE THEY DON'T
LEARN IT THE WAY
THAT HE DID
AND HIS EYES ARE
ON THE FUTURE
BUT IT'S LOOKIN'
PRETTY SAD
AND WITH EVERY DAY
THAT PASSES
HE BECOMES MORE
LIKE HIS DAD
HE HOPES THAT WHEN
THIS CENTURY
TURNS AROUND
THINGS WON'T
BE SO BAD
HE'S AN OLD HIPPIE
EVEN OLDER
THAN BEFORE
WONDERIN' WHAT TO
PAY ATTENTION TO
AND WHAT SHOULD
HE IGNORE
HE'S AN OLD HIPPIE
STILL ADJUSTIN'
TO THE CHANGE
HE'S JUST TRYIN' TO
FIND SOME BALANCE
IN A WORLD GONE
TOTALLY INSANE
HE'S JUST TRYIN' TO
FIND SOME BALANCE
IN A WORLD GONE
TOTALLY INSANE
