I do “this and that,” in order to earn “bread;”
Meet the “inner crowd” to just get ahead.
Search for myself between appointment dates.
But when “such and such” starts, it us’ally makes me late.
Here’s a revelation :
In the short time we have right now,
I declare a revolution!
We are part-time hippies.
Come; we’ll shortly leave all that is dear.
We are part-time hippies.
And when our work-a-day life stops,
we’re outta here!
They overheat, the cogs in the transmission
But it’s no problem; it’s happened to us.
Anarchy, just living for the moment,
must just happen right: organize it first!
Let us dance and let’s sing
with flowers strung in our hair.
So tell me, you can do this thing!
We are part-time hippies
At part-time work in our own “company.” *
We are part-time hippies.
A little bit of a revolt
’s good for me.
You hit the gas to get you anywhere; but
tell me who needs more objects
when you want not a thing?
Put your objections to rest
and only live by your conscience.
We debate about it, then clean the mess.
We are part-time hippies
on an all-inclusive ego trip
We are part-time hippies
Even when we’re not so great,
We’re still hip.
