Where have all the hippies gone

where have all the hippies gone
were the sixties just a passing phase
peace signs posted almost everywhere
certainly those were the good ole days

Woodstock was held on Max Yasgur's farm
Hendrix, joplin, CCR and so many more
music rocked the world for miles and miles
chants heard in the crowd “make love not war”

400,000 stormed the field just outside of Bethel
three days of peace and music, a time for unity
drugs were often found, common form of escape
a counterculture festival, a part of rock history

where have all the hippies gone
what if those days returned again
to hear Joe Cocker sing one more time
I get by with a little help from my friends
