Where Did All The Hippies Go?

I cannot find the peace and love-

Where did it all go?

I cannot find long hair and cool fashion-

Where did it all go?

I am lost in this time.

I cannot find the revolution tunes-

Where did they all go?

I cannot find the hippie people and free spirits-

Where did they all go?

I see that bell bottoms, fringe, and vests are back.

Maybe the glory days are not far behind.

Find me.

Peace out.
