Old Hippie (The Sequel)

He'll be 45 come Wednesday

His gray hair is getting thin

But he still hanging in there

Don't feel too bad for the shape he's in

He's seen yuppies in the White House

But he thinks they're gonna fail

But he just don't trust the president

That never has inhaled

And he prays to God to stop this crime

But it seems to no avail

Well, he still loves country music

But he's been left out in the dark

'Cause they don't play Merle n' George no more

He don't know Billy Ray from Garth

And he's heard of Woodstock too

But it never could compete

'Cause he was there the day that Hendrix

Played the anthem with his teeth

Back when all those grunge bands

Couldn't ever keep a beat

He's an old hippie, even older than before

Wondering what to pay attention to

And what should he ignore

He's an old hippie still adjusting to the change

He's just trying to find some balance

In a world gone totally insane

He still thinks back on the 60s

But not in the same way

'Cause they've built a wall to his war

Then forgot the MIAs

And he's trying to be a 90s man

But it's too much of a bore

'Cause fax machines and cellphones

Ain't what he was put here for

And in a world selling sex in youth

He's the last old dinosaur

Yeah, he's an old hippie, even older than before

Wondering what to pay attention to

And what should he ignore

He's an old hippie still adjusting to the change

He's just trying to find some balance

In a world gone totally insane

Well, he comes on home from work now

To take some time up with the kids

Try to teach them right from wrong

Hope they don't learn it the way that he did

And his eyes are on the future

But it's looking pretty sad

And with every day that passes

He becomes more like his dad

Hopes that when this century turns around

Things won't be so bad

He's an old hippie even older than before

Wondering what to pay attention to

And what should he ignore

He's an old hippie still adjusting to the change

He's just trying to find some balance

In a world gone totally insane

He's just trying to find some balance

In a world gone totally insane
