Lyrics - Kalifornia Kiddies by Donovan

They grew right through the whole damned thing>
From the beatnik beginning
Pissed and
Pilled and
Puffed and
Pricked
Down the highway of oblivion
As we dug the
Rockin'
Insects and
Moved to
Mama-
Mandrex
They saw right through our acid eyes
And released bonds of shame-sex
Those
Kalifornia
Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those
Kalifornia
Kiddies love 'em every one
They felt our hippie happy days
They felt our deepest sorrow
They learned how to embrace the past
And the great
Unknown
Tomorrow
They'll soon put down this rock
That down the bog soon courses
Daft
Decadence and nazi groups
Foul and hostile forces
Those
Kalifornia
Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those
Kalifornia
Kiddies love 'em every one
They listened to the sky with you
They heard the bell of peace ring
The message in the flower
The symbol of awakening
They saw you give up meats and sweets
And practice control passion
And all this done stoned, on the run
And through the
Veil went crashing
They saw you gain a mantra>
From the
Master of the
Wild
Mind
Felt you feel way deep inside
Behind the
Veil of
Maya
Instinctively they opened up
Their spirit - eyes of
Wisdom
Their
Fairy
Tale will never pale
They dance in
Love's bright freedom
