Lyrics
(Spoken Word)
Well I never think that when I'm twenty-one, I'm twenty-one
I think of tomorrow or this minute; and hope there's a tomorrow
'Cause I don't like what's going on in the world
I'm scared of that, more than drugs; I'm not afraid of them
I'm just, I'm just scared you know?
In 15 years, the high school and college students
Who are experimenting with LSD
Will be running our institutions and guiding public policy
Remember, the college students
Who are using LSD and Marijuana today
Do not comprise a criminal class
They are not drug addicts seeking to escape
They're your best educated, your most creative
And your most courageous young people
And like it or not, they're going to build you a new civilization
They may be severely depressed, with suicidal tendencies
Or may be very serious suicide attempts
They may be confused, wandering about
Not knowing where they are
They may be hallucinating, that is hearing voices or seeing things
Or they may be extremely anxious to the point of panic
LSD helps me to remember or it helps me to forget (laughing)
No, I don't know
In the last year, we're told that perhaps a million Americans
Most of them young people
Have made the LSD experience part of their lives
Is this a social menace and a cause for alarm?
I don't think so
I see nothing less
Than the speedy evolution of a new, indigenous religion
Well I never think that when I'm twenty-one, I'm twenty-one
I think of tomorrow or this minute; and hope there's a tomorrow
'Cause I don't like what's going on in the world
I'm scared of that, more than drugs; I'm not afraid of them
I'm just, I'm just scared you know?
I'm just, I'm just scared you know?
I'm just, I'm just scared you know?
I'm just, I'm just scared you know?
I'm just, I'm just scared you know?
Everybody is
