Story Behind The Song

Some people never grow up. This song describes an aging hippie, but it also applies to all generations and to the spoiled brat millennials of today.

Song Description

The singer describes her carefree life. Surrounded by creature comforts and living off the generosity of the system, she embodies the philosophy of entitlement.

Lyrics

Livin' for Today

I. We're in my hot tub. In my custom van.
If we're a sloshin',don't come in!
Shag on th' floor. My carpet's deep.
We get it on. And, then we sleep.
(Turnaround) Ha! (Turnaround) Hey!
II. Got reefer madness. Back in th' day.
Stuck in a time warp. I'm here to stay.
Feelin' groovy. It's munchie time.
Pass that burrito. We smoked a dime.
(Turnaround) Ha! (Turnaround) Hey!
(Chorus)
Livin' for today. Livin' for today.
I threw away my mirror, 'cause I don't feel my age.
Ain't got no blind ambition. Time is all I crave.
I'm livin' for today. Livin' for today.
(Turnaround) Ha! (Turnaround) Hey! (Turnaround) Ha!
III. Th' Hippie Nation is alive today.
Besides th' free love, th' gov'ment pays.
All grown up now. Huh! We never did.
Let George do it. Take care a my kid.
(Chorus)
Livin' for today. Livin' for today.
I threw away my mirror, 'cause I don't feel my age.
Ain't got no blind ambition. Time is all I crave.
I'm livin' for today. Livin' for today.
(Turnaround) Ha! (Turnaround) Hey! (Turnaround) Ha!
IV. You workin' stiffs. I love ya, man.
Keep payin' taxes. I'll work on my tan.
I'll bum around. Long as I can.
I'm livin' large. Love my Uncle Sam.
(Turnaround) Ha! (Turnaround) Hey!
(Chorus)
Livin' for today. Livin' for today.
I threw away my mirror, 'cause I don't feel my age.
Ain't got no blind ambition. Time is all I crave.
I'm livin' for today. Livin' for today.
Ha! (Turnaround) Ha! (Turnaround) Ha!
Livin' for today Hey!
Livin' for today. Ha!
Livin' for today... Hey... Ya!
