Mistreat What You Gonna Do
It was so great, I remember it all-I was having a trip,
I was having a ball! The music was played and the grass
was green-It was the best love that I'd ever seen!
There was a million of us like sister and brother-
Everbody was - you know - lovin' each other! It was so
groovy, my dreams fulfilled-I didn't even know 12
people were killed!
Hey Mr. Peace, what's left today? Hey Mr. Love, did you
find the way? Sweet smoke is gone and your dreams are
too-Damn you now, what you gonna do?
The bands were in gas, all set to go-No matter that
they took a million bucks for a show! How could we
know, it was vanity fair-I was so stoned that I didn't
care!
We had the power, we had to win-We could change the
system, but the pigs came in! The youth was good then,
now it's just drag-Now that I'm a boring old fag!
Hey Mr. Peace, what's left today? Hey Mr. Love, did you
find the way? Sweet smoke is gone and your dreams are
too-Damn you now, what you gonna do?
We had the power, we had to win-We could change the
system, but the pigs came in! The youth was good then,
now it's just drag-Now that I'm a boring old fag!
Hey Mr. Peace, what's left today? Hey Mr. Love, did you
find the way? Sweet smoke is gone and your dreams are
too-Damn you now, what you gonna do?
