Count Raven - Hippies Triumph lyrics

Peace & love & understanding,

was the cry of the mid sixties

Visions in acid showed the way,

we smiled at one another

Colours of the rainbow filled my head,

and I loved a beautiful princess

We lived for a better day & for a world

where we loved aech other

The freaks they really showed the way,

Gods children of the new tomorrow

Fight for a new society, or You will die in sorrow

This is a hippies thriumph, and at the same time

He fears the mistake of all youth

One mistake we made and so do You

All youth think they live forever

Life is short & runs away from You,

and You have no time to hate your neighbour

Think of yourself all the way, was the cry of the eighties

Corrupted minds ruled a whole decade,

let's hope it turns in the nineties

This is your father speaking

and as every parent I'll fear for my youth

So sick & tired, of hearing same cry

The youth they don't understand us,

they don't hear what we say

The younger says that they don't listen,

but You don't give them a chance to try

Use communication, on this I pray

Looking at the world today, no one loves each other

Hate instead of love we want they say,

from the cup of madness You are drinking

Spitting in the face of love,

then you spit in the face of creation

If You want a better world today,

then face it now & start thinking

This is a hippies thriumph, and at the same time

He fears the mistake of all youth
