Tim Stonelake - Righteous Good Cause (A Hippy's Lament)

Sixty nine, I knew it all
Living and loving and having a ball
Working for peace, making the scene
Doing my part to stop the machine

We hit the street with our banners unfurled
Raising our voices, changing the world
Bangles and bells, we soaked up the sun
Telling the world, let's lay down our guns

Can't turn it around, Can't roll back the years
Gotta work it all out, in screaming and tears

Now I got a big place and a new Beemer too
My kids wear Hurley and Osiris shoes
They got all the answers, still in their teens
I'm over fifty, don't know what life means

Can't turn it around, like it used to be
It's what's in your heart, that sets you free

Well if I could trade this for how I felt then
I wouldn't be waiting to do it again...
Trade my house in the burbs and my luxury cars
for a VW bus and a righteous good cause

Can't turn it around, Can't roll back the years
Gotta work it all out in screaming and tears
Can't turn it around like it used to be
It's what's in your heart that sets you free
