Lyrics
THE SIXTIES
Words by Carroll Kiphen & Barry David Butler
Music by Barry David Butler
I USED TO LAUGH WHEN OLDER FOLKS
SPOKE OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS
I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST AFRAID
OF THE CHANGIN WAY
THE CLOTHES WE WORE WERE DIFFERENT
OUR HAIR WAS MUCH TOO LONG
OURMUSIC PUSHED THE BOUNDARIES
AND OFTEN WE WERE WRONG
WE WERE THE LONG HAIRED HIPPIE FREAKS
MARCHIN IN THE STREETS
STONED OUT HIPPIES
MARCHIN WITH OUR FEET
LONG HAIRED HIPPIES JUST DOIN OUR THING
WE WERE THE LONG HAIRED HIPPIE FREAKS
MARCHIN THE STREETS
LONG HAIRED HIPPIES JUST DOIN OUR THING
MARCHIN THROUGH THAT DECADE
THE DECADE OF TRUTH AND LOVE
WE SHOUTED OF INJUSTICE
WAVED IT LIKE A FLAG
WE TORE IT AND WE TRAMPLED IT
AND BURNED IT LIKE A RAG
WE TORE DOWN RELIGION
ATTACKED THE STATUS QUO
PUT MORALITY IN A BOX
AND TIED IT WITH A BOW
(CHORUS)
WE GREW OUR HAIR & BROKE ALL THE RULES
AND CRITICIZED THE WAR
FOUND OURSELVES PORTRAYED AS FOOLS
AS IF WE DIDN’T KNOW THE SCORE
BUT CHANGE CAME TO OUR NATION
AND TO OUR LIVES AS WELL
WE ADVANCED OUR STATION
AS ALL THE FENCES FELL
