Mother did you lie to me? You said that we all born to be Free, but all I see is walls Barbed wire and plugged in holes Down the street's just dull concrete Can't hear a tweet, can't hear a tweet Mother did you lie to me? Is it the place we're meant to be? In your tales the world was around With ferry hills and clouds around But all I see is squares and smoke And iron dust that keeps us choked One two, come along! Sing with me this hippie song! Hey you come to dance! Ove your feet and clap your hands I feel so sentimental sometimes Why I sing this hippie song Nothing changes it takes you nowhere I thought its right, but I was wrong I never had this deep depression I always walked the sunny side But somethimes I got strange reaction Squares and smoke conquered my mind
