Church bells hear them ringing
Ding dong ring ding dinging
Two folks must be getting married
Walk past and see them posin'
Eyes wide smiles are frozen
>From here it looks kind of scary
First time I thought love could last forever
Was way back in my summer of love
Life was sweet and we were so together
Riding some Cosmic Groove from above
And where are all the hippies
Where did they all go
Wasn't it back in the sixties
They promised peace and love for us all
For us all
Downtown at the station
Small crowd demonstratin'
Signs say leader must step down
I say so what's it this time
Girl says same old crime
The new one's worse than the last clown
First time I thought I could change the world
Was way back in my summer of love
Anarchy was great for meeting rich girls
Riding some Cosmic Groove from above
And where are all the hippies
Where did they all go
Wasn't it back in the sixties
They were building new worlds for us all
For us all
"Hey freak, how far you goin' "
"L.A. man thanks for slowin',
Seems I've been waiting here forever"
First time I was ever on the west coast
Was way back in my summer of love
Yeah The Doors had made it from the best coast
Riding some Cosmic Groove from above
And where are all the hippies
Where did they all go
Wasn't it back in the sixties
They were building new worlds for us all
