lyrics

VERSE I
Two old hippies sitting on the front porch
Throwing obscene political ideas back and forth
They built this house out of hay bails long ago
Got a fun little garden where green weeds like to grow

PRE
In sixty-eight was in a van driving
sixty-nine their minds were flying
seventy to eighty the dream started dying
but they’re still doing just fine

CHORUS
Peace, love, rock & roll is all they ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all their souls have ever known

VERSE II
Two friends reminiscing on the days past
These memories and ideas go by too damn fast
They have no need for all the bright flashing lights
No more marching for all their God given rights

PRE
The pickets changed from signs to fencing
Little more chilling instead of protesting
Still feel like the government is against them
But happy on their medicare

CHORUS
Peace, love, rock & roll is all they ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all their souls have ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all they ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all their souls have ever known

BRIDGE
The Summer of love was more than a season
Thou it came to an end they’re still there believing
You send out peace you get it right back
They remember when a nickel bag was actually that

The lived in a hostel, a van and a commune
Settled in a spot where it was just them two
But not for long cause love came over
They made some little hippies but now they’re older

They were the ones who stood and said no
When Monsanto and Dow crept into our homes
They want the best for our land for our kids
For your life no matter how damn different it is

And they keep on jamming to the same old song
Saw Jerry, Janice, Jimi, Marley, Stevie Ray Vaughn
Only things these old hippies know
Is how to live peace, love, & rock n roll

OUT CHORUS
Peace, love, rock & roll is all they ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all their souls have ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all they ever known
Peace, love, rock & roll is all their souls will ever need to know
