Ari - The Hippie Song lyrics

rate me

When I was young my parents raised me right, <br />

My dad sang me Beatles songs every night.<br />

Mom cooked organic meals with homemade desserts, <br />

Everyday I went to school wearing tiedied shirts.<br />

I was taught to love and taught not to hate, <br />

Learned republicans are bad, and god is great, <br />

I'm anti-war and I'm all about peace for a welfare system and I hate the police.<br />

If you can't dig it, you can get bent, that's just how it is I'm from hippie decent, <br />

I'm from a family of hippies, even uncles and aunts and at parties we all do the hippie dance.<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

You gotta, close your eyes and sway to and fro, <br />

Mind in the music and let yourself go now, <br />

Move your arms like the waves of the ocean, <br />

Keep it up, don't stop that motion, <br />

Put a bend in your knee, <br />

A smile on your face, <br />

And the last step of all is to spin in place, <br />

Keeps your arms gyrating, <br />

Your body rotating, <br />

Now your doing the hippie.<br />

<br />

Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and being raised by hippies rubbed off on me, <br />

I don't think that being a hippies a crime, <br />

I've been called a dirty hippie more than one time.<br />

If you call me a hippie, I take it as praise, <br />

I'm gonna be a hippie till the end of my days, <br />

I'm sicken by violence, <br />

Disgusted by killin', <br />

My heroes are Lennon, Marley, and Dylan.<br />

I don't discriminate against people who are gay, <br />

I think cigarettes are bad, but drugs are ok, <br />

So take some mushrooms or acid, <br />

Start getting trippy, <br />

Take of your shoes and dance like a hippie<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

You gotta, close your eyes and sway to and fro, <br />

Mind in the music and let yourself go now, <br />

Move your arms like the waves of the ocean, <br />

Keep it up, don't stop that motion, <br />

Put a bend in your knee, <br />

A smile on your face, <br />

And the last step of all is to spin in place, <br />

Keeps your arms gyrating, <br />

Your body rotating, <br />

Now your doing the hippie.<br />

<br />

Well I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat meat, <br />

I like to whistle when I walk down the street, <br />

If I see a bum I'll always leave some change, <br />

He's a human too although he looks kind of strange, <br />

I don't watch T.V, I play hacky sack, <br />

And for about 10 years I've had the same back pack, <br />

I've got liberal politics in my blood stream, <br />

And I'd love to kick it if your on the same team.<br />

What's mine is yours, if what's yours is mine, <br />

So come by my house and we'll drink some wine, <br />

But recycle your bottles, <br />

Don't throw them in the trash and we'll all get together for a hippie bash<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

You gotta, close your eyes and sway to and fro, <br />

Mind in the music and let yourself go now, <br />

Move your arms like the waves of the ocean, <br />

Keep it up, don't stop that motion, <br />

Put a bend in your knee, <br />

A smile on your face, <br />

And the last step of all is to spin in place, <br />

Keeps your arms gyrating, <br />

Your body rotating, <br />

Now your doing the hippie.
