g It's the year 2009 d And we are living in dangerous times em We should learn from the hippies, and why the movement failed: c d g Hippies don't run for government and politicians don't inhale. g d A long time ago in a time called the 60's, em c d g People thought pop music was going to change the world. g They said things like 'All you need is love', d Took the pregnancy pill, and whatever else they could get hold of, em Bob Dylan went electric, Sgt Peppers was a hit c d g And people realised they could change the world if they gave a shit! em d But people got jaded when Vietnam was invaded, g d em And Jimi, Janis and Morrison assasinated c By the C.I.A. d That was the day g The music died g Take me back to 1969 d When changing the world meant a corny line em Like 'Love Is You Need' Or smoking an ounce of weed c d g Or taking LSD at Woodstock g Now it's the year 2009 d And again we're living in dangerous times em We should learn from the hippies, and why the movement failed: c d g Hippies don't run for government and politicians don't inhale.
