Take my advice Don't listen to me It ain't paradise But it used to be There was a time When the river was wide And the water came running down With the rising tide But the wooden ships Were just a hippie dream Just a hippie dream. Don't bat an eye Don't waste a word Don't mention nothin That could go unheard 'Cause the tie-dye sails Are the screamin sheets And the dusty trail Leads to blood in the streets And the wooden ships Were just a hippie dream Capsized in excess Just a hippie dream Just because its over for you Don't mean its over for me It's a victory for the heart Every time the music starts So please don't kill the machine Don't kill the machine Another flower child goes to seed In an ether-filled room of meat-hooks It's so ugly So ugly.
