neil young + promise of the real - hippie dream (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
take my advice (take my advice)
don’t listen to me (don’t listen to me)
it ain’t paradise (it ain’t paradise)
but it used to be (but it used to be)
there was a time
when the river was wide (there was a time)
and the water came running down (when the river was wide)
to the rising tide

[chorus]
but the wooden ships
were just a hippie dream
just a hippie dream

[verse 2]
don’t bat an eye (don’t bat an eye)
don’t waste a word (don’t waste a word)
don’t mention nothin’ (don’t mention nothin’)
that could go unheard (that could go unheard)
’cause the tie+dye sails
are the screamin’ sheets (’cause the tie+dye sails)
and the dusty trail (are the screamin’ sheets)
leads to blood in the streets

[chorus]
and the wooden ships
are just a hippie dream
capsized in excess
just a hippie dream
hippie dream, hippie dream
[instrumental break]

[bridge]
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 k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
(please don’t k!ll)
don’t k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
(please don’t k!ll)
don’t k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
don’t k!ll the machine
another flower child goes to seed
in an ether+filled room of meat+hooks
it’s so ugly
it’s so ugly

[outro]
(wooden ships)
it’s a hippie dream
(wooden ships)
it’s a hippie dream

- neil young promise of the real lyrics
