Hippie Dream

Neil Young

Take my advice

Don't listen to me

It ain't paradise

But it used to be

There was a time

When the river was wide

And the water came running down

To the rising tide

But the wooden ships

Were just a hippie dream

Just a hippie dream.



Don't bat an eye

Don't waste a word

Don't mention nothin'

That could go unheard

'Cause the tie-dye sails

Are the screamin' sheets

And the dusty trail

Leads to blood in the streets

And the wooden ships

Are a hippie dream

Capsized in excess

If you know what I mean.



Just because it's over for you

Don't mean it's over for me

It's a victory for the heart

Every time the music starts

So please don't kill the machine

Don't kill the machine

Don't kill the machine.



Another flower child goes to seed

In an ether-filled room of meat-hooks

It's so ugly

So ugly.
