I See Hawks In L.A. - Raised By Hippies Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Her parents had driven from the San Francisco Bay
  • It was late December of 1968
  • The skies was filling with the darkness of hate
  • Bobby and Martin were long gone
  • The Flower Children had sung their very last song
  • Nixon was heading to that big White House
  • and bombs would soon be dropping on the children of Laos
  • But a beautiful little girl was born on Christmas day
  • away from the madness that had driven them astray
  • she carried a sparkle right there in her eye
  • it shined through the night and it filled up the sky
  • She was raised by hippies
  • in the hills of Tennessee
  • raised by hippies
  • so wild and so free
  • raised by hippies
  • they did some things wrong
  • but they raised their children right
  • and they did it for a song
  • Her family moved to Chicago in 1982
  • Reagan was president no one knew what to do
  • Izods and argyles made her feel strange
  • she missed the hippie children and their earthy nature names
  • All the boys fell in love with her on the first day of spring
  • She went to class with no shoes on her feet
  • But her teachers tried to break her of her hillside hippie ways
  • they made her sit inside on the sunniest of days
  • CHORUS
  • When the Bobs fell on Baghdad
  • Her daddy wept and raged
  • Wrote Kill Whitey on a rest stop on the Natchez Trace
  • Oh Daddy don’t forget Bobby and Martin up above
  • remember the songs you sang in the Summer of Love
  • Summer of Love
  • She’s all grown up now with kids of her own
  • she teaches them the songs of her hillside hippie home
  • and that old school bus is battered but her engine’s good and strong
  • tomorrow’s sun will find us furthur along
  • the song book is dusty but they/we remember the tune
  • her uncle’s in the back reading the Chronicles of Dune
  • CHORUS
  • Run old Molly run . . .
