They wanted to build a counter culture a version of whatever needed straight from society I shoulda' been born in the 60’s cause I recycle more than I create trash and like an acid flashback, I don’t even have a license just bicycle from point A to point B I realize, I shoulda' been born in the 60’s they call me a hippie but the fringe and leather don’t make me it’s that I practice what I preach I listen and I teach I reach out to the old faith Gandhi and passive resistance tryin' to make a difference even if peace don’t “exist” at least I don’t reach out to war as if it’s at my fingertips and just like braidin’ hemp the center splits- I shoulda' been born in the 60’s I listen to classic rock and jam to an mp3 records and tape decks old school is where you'll find me Jimi and Zeppelin and The Doors make me jive without that music I don’t even think I’d be alive it’s that drive- like man, you’re either on the bus or off the bus but I hopped coast to coast cause in love we trust west to east in a retreat, just to find the true me. I shoulda' been born in the 60’s I wear flowers in my hair and sat on stoops in Haight I grew my hair long and I sport natural waves I don’t wear makeup or go to raves I try and find my grass roots while they sport white collar jobs and dress up in their suits I write poetry and rhymes I paint and I draw the line where man- I should have been born in the 60’s but I’m 93’ and thats ok with me. in this current day and year of 2014

Shoulda' Been Born In The 60's
