Lyrics
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIPPIES ?
What happened to hippies,
are they done?
What happened to hippies,
I am one.
CHORUS:
Peace, love, and the little white dove
Don?t see it that way anymore
Peace, flowers, and love
I know it came from above
So what?s up with the changes,
Do we start all over again?
CHORUS
Us hippies said we?d do this
Instead we did that
All with plenty of fat
Can you believe,
can you believe we did that?
