the charge of the freak brigade

it's that time again people
men and women are crying out in the night,
they long for the return of the hippie
did you know that there were people smoking weed
that also loved the planet enough to stop the war in nam
Freaks !....freaks spoke up about the immorality of war
flower power baby
stickin' daisies in the barrels of rifles
and I gotta tell ya that that peace, love, and understanding thing
seems pretty fucking good to me right now
aging out here in the jungle
with all my monkey friends that used to seem so unstoppable
the whole damn zoo has gray beards

My mind rolls back to the daze of living communally,
friends choppin vegetables listen' to brown sugar
passin' the pipe, passin' some new ideas around
the craziest thing in the world has got to be one person
living in one big fuckin' house, that's insane,
in the new world I feel we will need to pool our resources

no not oil
not gas and electric
paper or plastic
no I'm talkin about the aforementioned other resources
that peace, that love, that understanding shit
we need to circle the wagons baby
take a stand .....Together !

I'm not sure it would amuse us in the same way now as it did then but with that as a given I did enjoy your nod to it - I have the thought myself from time to time - growing old takes up a lot of my time - more than I thought it would - 8) 8)

I remember the paranoia
media stories about drug crazed hippie mothers eating their babies
and I remember John Waters Pink Flamingo's and him saying that the mean people would be back with a vengeance all this love and peace was just a fad



don't mind me my geezer meandering
ten four,excellent capture, I agree
let's keep the dream alive
