Donovan Kalifornia Kiddies
They grew right through the whole damned thing >From the beatnik beginning Pissed and Pilled and Puffed and Pricked Down the highway of oblivion As we dug the Rockin' Insects and Moved to Mama-Mandrex They saw right through our acid eyes And released bonds of shame-sex Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one They felt our hippie happy days They felt our deepest sorrow They learned how to embrace the past And the great Unknown Tomorrow They'll soon put down this rock That down the bog soon courses Daft Decadence and nazi groups Foul and hostile forces Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one They listened to the sky with you They heard the bell of peace ring The message in the flower The symbol of awakening They saw you give up meats and sweets And practice control passion And all this done stoned, on the run And through the Veil went crashing They saw you gain a mantra >From the Master of the Wild Mind Felt you feel way deep inside Behind the Veil of Maya Instinctively they opened up Their spirit - eyes of Wisdom Their Fairy Tale will never pale They dance in Love's bright freedom
