Hippies Triumph Lyrics - Singles - Count Raven

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
