Folk of the 80's Well you can change your mind—it'll change your life You're going crazy It's not you don't want to work It's just that you're lazy And you can change your life—it'll change your mind It's amazing in the folk of the 80's And the folk of the 80's, is the folk of the cities Folk of the country is the folk of the 60's And don't grow a beard—they'll call you a hippie Wear a construction/lumberjacking shirt You don't really like it...but the effect seems to work For all of my friends now, it's the uniform of the day And I can't get away now, so I just want to say That the folk of the 80's, is the folk of the cities Folk of the country is the folk of the 60's And don't cut your hair they'll call you a hippie I could sing of machines I could sing of bu*tons and bees Others cry Oh why should I And bombs are falling What happened to Tony?
He dug a hole in the ground When no one was looking It took him years to be found Now, he's making a living Selling parachutes door to door You might never need one But then again, there always a war Because and the folk of the 80's, is the folk of the city Folk of the country is the folk of the 60's And don't cut your beard they'll call you a hippie I could sing of machines I could sing of bu*tons and bees Others cry Oh why should I And bombs are falling The folk of the 80's, is the folk of the cities Folk of the country is the folk of the 60's And don't grow a beard they'll call you a hippie I could sing of machines I could sing of bu*tons and bees Others cry Oh why should I And bombs are falling I could sing of the trees I could sing of birds, love and peace Others cry Oh why should I And bombs are falling And bombs explode!
