We Were The First To Do It

about

Two old hippies reminisce about when they did a whole lot of nothing

lyrics

Cosmo: "Remember back in the Summer of ’69,
and we dropped out of school?
And we didn’t care much about holding a job
Or anything without tie-dye.
Well we were riding a wave of… what?
I don’t know. But we thought we were right.
And we didn’t wear shoes while we
Floated in Space, but we were the first to do it."

Stone: "We joined a Rock & Roll band.
And we all lived in one house.
And we wouldn’t play without any
Blotter Paper on our tongues.”

*Upon remembering, a thousand hippies, reeking of unmentionable odors, come into sight and shout:*

Hippie Choir: "NO WAY!!!”

Stone: "The band played on for hours,
and we didn’t know our names.
Some guy just burned me last week
On some Deadly Nightshade.
The Haight-Ashbury is where I wanna be!”

*Cosmo, seemingly incontinent, repeats himself.*

Stone: "We loved to hug a tree.
And we didn’t eat meat.
and we wouldn’t support anything
with a Corporate name on it.”

Hippie Choir: (Still reeking) "NO WAY!!!”

Stone: "The wave eventually broke.
And the high had worn off.
I met some girl and I had a kid.
And I got a Corporate job.
The Haight-Ashbury is just a memory…”

*Fed up with Cosmo’s redundancy (and stench), Stone, who’s real name is David, puts on a suit and goes to Conglomo-Co where he makes well over 100K a year being a mindless automaton.*
