I was a long-haired hippie freak I made my living with the way I speak Preached the word to the poor and meek Havoc in the churches I did reek From my side, my blood did leak I guess they called me a terrorist
I had some radical ways Living in a time of revolutionary frays Spying on where the military stays I did not regret my loss of days Where they hung me, my body lays I guess they called me a terrorist
I bombed at night for the F.F.I Fighting the bastard N.A.Z.I During my torture they made me cry In a concentration camp I did die Nobody knows where my ashes lie I guess they called me a terrorist
I hear Bush say he is the man First one was Iraq, next one's Iran That's when the shit really hits the fan And prove freedom not part of the plan Better speak out while you can It's OK if they call you a terrorist
History shows why they crucified Jesus, why they exiled Galileo, why they had to blow up the Maine, and why they bombed Hiroshima.
Now more people than ever know that what they do is wrong. Not only bad acts but bad strategy. But they can't stand the light of day. They can't admit their crimes in public.
But we can witness their crimes and publish them. With computers we can follow every dishonest, murderous dollar. And it's inevitable. The truth will out and sooner or later, everybody will know everything they're trying to hide.

Those days were a time of unbelieveable innocence. We believed and advocated a heady mixture of Gandhi and Marx. We believed it could make the world a just and fair utopia . Heaven was not for an after life but was within our reach.
All God's Chillun got paid a living wage. Justice was egalitarian an inalienable right. Beauty was in simplicity and we all believed our world was a life giving garden
We are now over 30 years away from that world. We are a mear 7 years away from the dawning of the age of Aquarius. The world is at the brink of war. But we old hippies have 7 years.
It might be close but I bet we will do it. Only this time we will follow through and not leave it to others to finish our journey to universal justice and mercy.
WE did it before and we can do it again.

Signs, Signs, every where are signs which contain rules which negate free expression. Illiterate peasants are not good at expression without being able to sprinkle their vocabulary with the gutteral jibberish of the street. Besides I tire of reading the same prose in the same form with the same words and the same thought matrix, thusly I wax poetic. Thank you for your forbearance..
