GHe turned thirty-five last Sunday
CIn his hair he found some Ggray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
CHe likes it better the oldD way
So he Cgrows a little garden in the backG yard by the fence
He's conCsuming what he's growing nowaGdays in self defense
He get's Dout there in the twilight zone
someCtimes when it just don't make no Gsense
He gets off on country music
`cause disco left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave
buts he's just too damn 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
CHORUS:
He's an Cold hippie
and he Gdon't know what to do
should Dhang on to the old
should he Ggrab on to the new
He's an Cold hippie
his new liGfe is just a bust
he ain't Dtrying to change nobody
he just Ctrying real Dhard to adGjust
He was sure back in the sixties
that everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
on his senior trip
And they force him to become a man
while he was still a boy
and in each wave of tragedy
he waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
but he just can't change no more
CHORUS:
Well he stays away a lot now
from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
Cause 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
