Sex and d** and rock 'n' roll
Now AIDS and crack and video
Peace and love in didn't k** us, but making love might
What if the hippies were right
Turn on, tune in, drop out is back now
Let's go online, then go slack
Reefers didn't k** us but cigarettes might
What if the hippies were right
Kids today can't find their way
Their hopes and dreams just sink
They might learn how to shoot straight in school
But they don't learn how to think
When I was young it seemed so sure that the future would be bright
It might not be hip to say today
What if the hippies were right
