Hippie Dream — текст песни (Neil Young)

Take my advice
Don`t listen to me
It ain`t paradise
But it used to be
There was a time
When the river was wide
And the water
came running down
To the rising tide
But the wooden ships
Were just a hippie dream
Just a hippie dream.

Don`t bat an eye
Don`t waste a word
Don`t mention nothin`
That could go unheard
`Cause the tie-dye sails
Are the screamin` sheets
And the dusty trail
Leads to blood
in the streets
And the wooden ships
Are a hippie dream
Capsized in excess
If you know what I mean.

Just because
it`s over for you
Don`t mean
it`s over for me
It`s a victory
for the heart
Every time
the music starts
So please
don`t kill the machine
Don`t kill the machine
Don`t kill the machine.

Another flower child
goes to seed
In an ether-filled
room of meat-hooks
It`s so ugly
So ugly.
