What's there to live for？
Who needs the peace corps？
Think i'll just drop out
I'll go to frisco
Buy a wig ＆ sleep
On owsley's floor
Walked past the wig store
Danced at the fillmore
I'm completely stoned
I'm hippy ＆ i'm trippy
I'm a gypsy on my own
I'll stay a week ＆ get the crabs ＆
Take a bus back home
I'm really just a phony
But forgive me
'cause i'm stoned
Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up every street
Go to san francisco
How i love ya, how i love ya
How i love ya, how i love ya frisco!
How i love ya, how i love ya
How i love ya, how i love ya
Oh, my hair is getting good in the back! every town must have a
place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up on every street
Go to san francisco...
Hotcha!
First i'll buy some beads
And then perhaps a leather band
To go around my head
Some feathers and bells
And a book of indian lure
I will ask the chamber of commerce
How to get to height street
And smoke an awful lot of dope
I will wander around barefoot
I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times
I will love everyone
I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the
street
I will sleep...
I will, i will go to a house
That's, that's what i will do
I will go to a house
Where there's a rock roll band
'cause the groups all live together
And i will join a rock ＆ roll band
I will be their road manager
And i will stay there with them
And i will get the crabs
But i won't care

Concentration moon
Over the camp in the valley
Concentration moon
Wis i was back in the alley
With all of my friends,
Still running free：
Hair growing out
Every hole in me
American way
How did it start？
Thousands of creeps
Killed in the park
American way
Try and explain
Scab of a nation
Driven insane
Don't cry
Gotta go bye bye
Suddenly： die die
Cop kill a creep!
Pow pow pow
Concentration moon
Over the camp in the valley
Concentration moon
Wish i was back in the alley
With all of my friends,
Still running free：
Hair growing out
Every hole in me
American way
Threatened by us
Drag a few creeps
Away in a bus
American way
Prisoner： lock
Smash every creep
In the face with a rock
Don't cry
Gotta go bye bye
Suddenly： die die
Cop kill a creep!
Pow pow pow

Someone said they made some noise
The cops have shot some girls ＆ boys
You'll sit home ＆ drink all night
They looked too weird...it served
Them right
Ever take a minute just to show a real
Emotion
In between the moisture cream ＆ velvet
Facial lotion？
Ever tell your kids you're glad that
They can think？
Ever say you loved 'em？ ever let 'em
Watch you drink？
Ever wonder why your daughter looked
So sad？
It's such a drag to have to love a plastic
Mom ＆ dad
Mama! mama!
Your child was killed in the park today
Shot by the cops as she quietly lay
By the side of the creeps she knew...
They killed her too.

Some say your toes

Your mind
I think it's your mind, woo woo
All your children are poor
Unfortunate victims of
Systems beyond their
Control
A plague upon your
Ignorance ＆ the gray
Despair of your ugly life
Where did annie go
Whe she went to town？
Who are all those creeps
That she brings around？
All your children are poor
Unfortunate victims of lies
You believe
A plague upon your
Ignorance that keeps
The young from the truth
They deserve...

I don't do publicity balling for you anymore...
The first word in this song is discorporate.
It means： to leave your body
Discorporate ＆ come with me
Shifting; drifting
Cloudless; starless
Velvet valleys ＆ a sapphire
Sea： wah wah
Unbind your mind
There is no time
To lick your stamps
And paste them in
Discorporate
And we will begin...wah wah!
Flower power sucks!
Diamonds on velvets on goldens on vixen
On comet on cupid on donner ＆ blitzen
On up ＆ away ＆ afar ＆ a go-go
Escape from the weight of your corporate logo!
Unbind your mind
There is no time
Boin-n-n-n-n-n-g
To lick your stamps
And paste them in
Discorporate
And we'll begin
Freedom! freedom!
Kindly loving!
You'll be absolutely free
Only if you want to be
Dreaming on cushions of velvet ＆ satin
To music by magic by people that happen
To enter the world of a strange purple
Jello
The dreams as they live them are all
Mellow yellow
Unbind your mind
There is no time
Boin-n-n-n-n-n-g
To lick your stamps
And paste them in
Discorporate
And we'll begin
Freedom! freedom!
Kindly loving!
You'll be absolutely free
Only if you want to be
You'll be absolutely free
Only if you want to be

My bongos in the dirt.
Yes, i'm goin' to the love-in to sit ＆ play

Beads around your neck？

Come and go... come and go...
Polly, do i ever have a lot of soul？
I think i love you!
Questi dominga？
Have you seen that nose eating？
I wanna know for sure!
Leave my nose alone please!
What 're you trying to do？
Listen! ...
This is one of the most
Exciting things that's ever
Happened to me
You know, every time i think
About how lucky i am to be in
The rock ＆ roll industry
It's so exciting
You know, when i first got into
The rock ＆ roll business
I could barely even play the
Changes to this song on my, on
My guitar
But now i'm very professional
I can play the guitar
I can strum it rhythmically
I can sing along with my guitar
As i strum
I can strum, sing, dance,
I can make merry fun all over
The stage
And you know, it's so wonderful
To...
It's wonderful to feel that i'm
Doing something for the kids
Because i know that the kids
And their music are where it's
At
The youth of america today is
So wonderful
And i'm proud to be a part of
This gigantic mass deception
I hope she sees me thrilling,
Yes...
I hope she sees me dancing and
Thrilling
I will say： 'hello dolly!'
Is the song over？
Boy, this is really exciting,
Making a rock ＆ roll record
I can't even wait until our
Record comes out and teen-agers
Start to buy it
We'll all be rich and famous!
And when my royalty check comes
I think i'm going to buy a
Mustang
No, i think i'll...i think i'll
Get a corvette
No, i think i'll get a harley
Davidson
No, i don't think i'll buy any
Of those cars
I think what i will do is i
Will buy both
No, i don't do that either
I think, ah, i'll go into real
Estate
I think i'd like to...
I think i'd like to buy a house
In ... boulevard
No, that wouldn't do any good
Gee, i wonder if they can see
Me up here, twirling that
Tambourine and dancing...
Maybe after the show
One of the girls who sees me up
Here, singing and thrilling my
Tambourine and dancing, will
Like me
And she will come over to me
And i will walk
I will walk up to her and i
Will smile at her
And i will impress her and i
Will say： 'hello, baby,
What's a girl like you doing in
A place like this？
I'm from a rock ＆ roll band,
I think we should...'
Is the song over？

Now believe me when i tell you that my song is really true
I want everyone to listen and believe
It's about some little people from a long time ago
And all the things the neighbors didn't know early in the
morning daddy dinky went to work
Selling lamps ＆ chairs to san ber'dino squares
And i still remember mama with her apron ＆ her pad
Feeding all the boys at ed's cafe!
Whizzing ＆ pasting ＆ pooting through the day
(ronnie helping kenny helping burn his poots away!)
And all the while on a shelf in the shed：
Kenny's little creatures on display!
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
(a marvel to be seen： dysentery green)
While kenny ＆ his buddies had a game out in the back：
Let's make the water turn black
We see them after school in a world of their own
(to some it might seem creepy what they do...)
The neighbors on the right sat ＆ watched them every night
(i bet you'd do the same if they was you)
Whizzing ＆ pasting ＆ pooting through the day
(ronnie helping kenny helping burn his poots away!)
And all the while on a shelf in the shed：
Kenny's little creatures on display!
Ronnie's in the army now ＆ kenny's taking pills
Oh! how they yearn to see a bomber burn!
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine!
(wait till the fire turns green...
Wait till the fire turns green)
Wait till the fire turns green

Warming his pew)
Kenny will feed him ＆ ronnie will watch
The child will thrive ＆ grow
And enter the world
Of liars ＆ cheaters ＆ people like you
Who smile ＆ think you know
What this is about
(you think you know everything... maybe so)

But that has not made me any money

Which i do, i mean, i'm carryin' it out...
You're a lonely little girl
But your mommy ＆ your daddy don't
Care
You're a lonely little girl
The things they say
Just hurt your heart
It's too late now
For them to start
To understand
The way you feel
The world for them
Is too unreal
So you're lonely, lonely, lonely,
Lonely little girl
All your children are poor unfortunate victims
Of systems beyond their control...
Where did annie go when she went to town？
Who are all those creeps that she brings around？
All your children are poor unfortunate victims
Of lies you believe...
Where did annie go when she went to town...

Or sprayed or partly grayed...
We know that hair ain't where it's at

Even be ashamed if you are fat!)
Wah wah-wah wah
There will come a time when everybody
Who is lonely will be free...

There will come a time when every evil
That we know will be an evil...

Who cares if you're so poor you can't afford

There will come a time when you can even
Take your clothes off when you dance
