Leave your woes behind
In the heart of New Brunswick
Red cup beer games
Walls flashing, people sweating

Bring out the hipsters
Sundried blue jeans with attitude
Dancing around
Like fairies in the wind
Cigarette one cheek
Talking smack bout the system!...

Memories

I remember the coal fire
Crackling and flickering
Toasting bread as well as feet

I remember the steam Train
Huffing and puffing
Steam and smoke engulfing us all

I remember music, the Mersey beat
Beatles and The yellow submarine
Hipsters and Bell-bottoms
I remember it all

Memories of Music
Memories of fun
Memories of Life now long gone

Juss two “Angelheaded hipsters” 
Dancin’ jazz riffs in da ring,
Teachin’ Liston, teachin’ Rexroth, 
Teachin’ Dylan how to sing. 
Dey be baaad poets.

Used to make da critics howl, 
Den pick da round dey gonna fall.
Smoked da pot to call da kettle 
An example to us all.
Dey be baaad poets.

So juss where do baaadness come from? 
Who done train dem how to be?
Some say William Carlos Williams. 
Some say Angelo Dundee.
Dey be baaad poets....

Hipsters say that flowers have power
Not the power of force against force
Their vision is of a peaceful world
Where the people make love not war

Softness is flowers secret weapon
It can defeat the hardness of hate
Even as sprouts they can lift the world
Trying to make it a better place

Flowers when you're born and when you die
They come that you might know its true
No matter the reason they were sent
What they really say is 'I love you'
