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
