Hippie Dream
Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Take my advice, don't listen to me

It ain't paradise but it used to be

There was a time when the river was wide

And the water came running down to the rising tide


But the wooden ships were just a hippie dream

Just a hippie dream


Don't bat an eye, don't waste a word

Don't mention nothin' that could go unheard

'Cause the tie-dye sails are the screamin' sheets

And the dusty trail leads to blood in the streets


And the wooden ships are a hippie dream

Capsized in excess, if you know what I mean



Just because it's over for you

Don't mean it's over for me

It's a victory for the heart

Every time the music starts


So please, don't kill the machine

Don't kill the machine, don't kill the machine


Another flower child goes to seed

In an ether-filled room of meat-hooks

It's so ugly, so ugly
