The Low Anthem - Hey, All You Hippies! lyrics

Hey, all you hippies And I ain't yet fit to come down A rose is a rose, a balloon a balloon You got to go right now Go get a job and don't work for your father For he ain't no salt of the earth Your soft little palms beneath the Hollywood palms Might just do well by some work Hey all you hippies, you got a bad name Ever since you let your guard down Here comes Ronald Reagan o'er the Hollywood Hills It don't look like he's fooling around You know how they feel, you're hip to the steel Strutting so bold and aloof You pray to God for luck while the reconnasissance truck Is watching your every move You wanted to fish and to live off the grid You said, "Life should be easy and free" But just one bad actor and his benefactor Can bring the old girl to her knees Hey all you hippies, you got a bad name Ever since you let your guard down Here comes Ronald Reagan o'er the Hollywood Hills It don't look like he's fooling around Do these fireworks arrays and low flying planes Stir your patriot voice to sing To each flickering flag on the Arlington lawn For each pawn who has fell for his king
