G
It's the year 2009
      D
And we are living in dangerous times
Em      
We should learn from the hippies, and why the movement failed:
             C                                         D                             G
Hippies don't run for government and politicians don't inhale. 

G                            D
A long time ago in a time called the 60's,
Em                                         C           D                G
People thought pop music was going to change the world.
G
They said things like 'All you need is love',
D
Took the pregnancy pill, and whatever else they could get hold of,
Em
Bob Dylan went electric, Sgt Peppers was a hit
       C                                      D                                             G
And people realised they could change the world if they gave a shit!


Em                                     D
But people got jaded when Vietnam was invaded,
      G         D          Em                  
And Jimi, Janis and Morrison assasinated 
           C
By the C.I.A.
        D
That was the day
                G
The music died

G
Take me back to 1969
D       
When changing the world meant a corny line
       Em
Like 'Love Is You Need'

Or smoking an ounce of weed
    C            D     G
Or taking LSD at Woodstock
G
Now it's the year 2009
D
And again we're living in dangerous times
                Em

           G
Now its forty years later.
D         
Things have been greater.
      Em
The sexual revolution left a fishy taste
      C                                 D               G
Of teenage pregnancies in council estates.
                      G
And we've still got war.
                D
We've still got famine.
 Em                                    
As opposed to getting out your head to The Grateful Dead


C                                         D                   G
People do it now listening to Radiohead instead.


Em
But everyone’s still jaded.
               D
Now Iraq's been invaded.
      G                     D   
The Gaza strip's in Israel's grip,
        Em
Even Syria has been raided.
            C
Still we tow the line,
         D
Maybe now's the time
                  C        D          G
To bring the music back to life.

G
Take me back to 1969
D       
When changing the world meant a corny line
       Em

             Em
Now everyone’s still jaded.
            D
And the hippies have all traded
                  G             D                                 Em
Free love in for a stable job and like their bell bottoms they've faded
               C
How did it go this far.
               D
Remember who you are,
                    C       D      G
And give the music C.P.R.

G

Hippies don't run for government and politicians (Execpt Barack Obama that one time in
