Bilingual
He'll be fourty-five come Wednesday
His gray hair is getting thin
But he's still hanging in there
Don't feel too bad for the shape he's in
He's seen yuppies in the White House
But he thinks they're gonna fail
But he just don't trust the president
That never has inhaled
And he prays to God to stop this crime
But it seems to no avail
Well, he still loves country music
But he's been left out in the dark
'Cause they don't play Merle and George no more
He don't know Billy Ray from Garth
And he's heard of Woodstock two
But it never could compete
'Cause he was there the day that Hendrix
Played the anthem with his teeth
Back on all those grunge bands
Couldn't even keep a beat
He's an old hippie
Even older than before
Wondering what to pay attention to
And what should he ignore
He's an old hippie
Still adjusting to the change
He's just trying to find some balance
In a world gone totally insane
He still thinks back on the sixties
But not in the same way
'Cause they've built a wall to his war
Then forgot the MIAs
And he's tryin' to be a nice man
But is too much of a bore
Those fax machines and cell phones
Ain't what he was put here for
And in a world selling sex and nudes
He's the last old dinosaur
He's an old hippie
Even older than before
Wondering what to pay attention to
And what should he ignore
He's an old hippie
Still adjusting to the change
He's just trying to find some balance
In a world gone totally insane
Well, he comes on home from work, now
Takes some time up with the kids
Trying to teach them right from wrong
Hopes they don't learn it the way that he did
And his eyes are on the future
But he's looking pretty sad
And with every day that passes
He becomes more like his dad
Hopes that when the century turns around
Things won't be so bad
He's an old hippie
Even older than before
Wondering what to pay attention to
And what should he ignore
He's an old hippie
Still adjusting to the change
He just try to find some balance
In a world gone totally insane
He just try to find some balance
In a world gone totally insane
