I'm a pompadour hippie with a lot on my mind
And the way things are going make me mad from time to time
Just like a singing bird I'm singing my song
And I preach the word of love wherever I may roam
I don't need to tell you what's wrong or right
But I can't ignore what's bugging me and just step aside
Don't take advantage of the role that I play
Do you get what I'm saying?
We can't just walk away
So please stop the hatred, violence, pollution,
Corruption, destruction, ignorance, conquer and divide
And stop the racism, bullshit, the cutting of the forrest,
The nuclear rubbish, the greed and the hunger, the chemical warfare
Stop messing with our mind
Stop messing with our mind
I'm a pompadour hippie and I won't step aside
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing in changing times
I'm a pompadour hippie and I won't step aside
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing in changing times
Please stop the hatred, violence, pollution,
Corruption, destruction, ignorance, conquer and divide
And stop the racism, bullshit, the cutting of the forrest,
The nuclear rubbish, the greed and the hunger, the chemical warfare
Stop messing with our mind
Stop messing with our mind
I'm a pompadour hippie and I won't step aside
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing in changing times
I'm a pompadour hippie and I won't step aside
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing
No I won't stop believing in changing times
