Paroles
He turned thirty-five last Sunday
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
He's consumin' what he's growin' nowadays in self defense
He gets out there in the twilight zone sometimes when it just don't make no sense
Yeah he gets off on country music 'cos disco left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave but he's just too friggin' old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes and he has to wonder why
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He's an old hippie
His new life is just a bust
He ain't tryin' to change nobody
He's just tryin' real hard to adjust
He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip
And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy
And behind each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him but he just can't change no more
'Cos he's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He's an old hippie
His new life is just a bust
He ain't tryin' to change nobody
He's just tryin' real hard to adjust
Well he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinkin' while he's joggin' 'round sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
'Cos him and his kind get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from that torpedo
Just up and fade away
Yeah he's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He's an old hippie
His new life is just a bust
He ain't tryin' to change nobody
He's just tryin' real hard to adjust
Yeah he ain't tryin' to change nobody
He's just tryin' real hard to adjust
