Hippie Style
    To tell the truth I’m not all that
    What people do perceive
    I’m a quiet lonely gentle soul
    This fact you must believe

    No knight in shiny armor clad
    Like a sir from days of old
    But when I put my pen in hand
    I become a bit more bold

    I rail against injustice seen
    To speak with common voice
    I could sit back not have a care
    But I made another choice

    No legacy do I expect
    Remembered down the line
    No statue for a pigeon perch
    That’s not a goal of mine

    Truth be know it breaks my heart
    The path my country takes
    We’ve lost our way from ocean shore
    To the depths of the Great Lakes

    Reviled by those we once called friend
    Who joined in wars we fought
    All our good that went before
    I guess was done for naught

    So to my children I must say
    Don’t copy what you see
    For our actions on this very day
    Aren’t acts of a land that’s free.

    Yes son your dad's a hippie
    And a hippie he'll remain
    The fight to improve your future
    Is not some video game

    Warrior son and hippie dad
    We're really quite a pair
    And if somebody fucks with us
    They'll wish they'd not gone there

    Come stand with me back to back
    We’ll take all comers on
    Let’s kick some ass hippie style
    Till this evil’s finally gone
