I’m just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane!

I turned forty-five some Wednesday(dont ask which year); 

my gray hair is getting thin(now I shave my head regularly)

But I’m still hanging in there; don't feel too bad for the shape I’m in.

I’m seen yuppies in the White House but I think they're gonna fail

as I just don't trust a President that never has inhaled!

I pray to God to stop his crime but it seems to no avail

Well, I still love country music, but I’ve been left out in the dark

'Cause they don't play Merle and George no more

I don't know Billy Ray from Garth

And I’ve heard of Woodstock two but it never could compete

'Cause I was there the day that Hendrix played the Anthem with his feet

Back when all those grunge bands couldn't even keep a beat

I’m an old hippie, even older than before

Wondering what to pay attention to and what should I ignore

I’m an old hippie, still adjusting to the change

I’m just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane

I still think back on the sixties but not in the same way

Cause they built a wall to my war then forgot the MLAs!

 I’m trying to be a nice man but it's too much of a bore

Cause fax machine and cell phones ain't what I was put here for

And in a world selling sex and youth I’m one of the last old dinosaurs

Yeah, I’m an old hippie, even older than before

Wondering what to pay attention to and what I should ignore

I’m an old hippie, still adjusting to the change

I’m just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane

Well, I come home from work now, take some time off with the kids

I try to teach them right from wrong, hope they don't learn it the way that I did

My eyes are on the future but it's looking pretty sad

With every day that passes I become more like my Dad!

just hope that when this decade turns around, things won't be so bad

Yes I’m an old hippie, even older than before

Wondering what to pay attention to and what  I should ignore

I’m an old hippie, still adjusting to the change

I’m just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane!
