Rooster Toilet Paper
Entitled
I woke one morning in August to the rooster's crow
On Max Yasgur's Farm, 20 Years Ago.
I remarked to my friend Bruce, how lovely it was
to wake up to this rooster, crowin' for us
he thought it was really nice too
but then we heard the most terrible news;
They plan to eat him,
the folks down the way.
This was to mine and Bruce's dismay.
But then came the day
when the folks down the way;
Needed toilet paper, to wipe their butts.
so i said, 'I'll give you some toilet paper,
If you give that rooster to us?
Good barter we did, and rooster was ours
and we thanked our lucky old stars
and drove off in our cars.
But Rooster Toilet Paper, as he came to be known,
went off in the bookmobile to his new home
on a farm with plenty of hens of his own.
Rooster Toilet Paper
There are tattoos and album covers, all in his name
Rooster Toilet Paper never knew of his fame
Rooster Toilet Paper
we all loved you
and the folks down the way would have loved you too
but not in the way that we do
Rooster Toilet Paper
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Standing For Our Mother
New Ground
I feel like I am breaking some ground here,
I feel like I'm exploring new ground,
I feel like I'm in uncharted territory,
I feel like the only one around,
Moving my children along in a cultural lifestyle,
that has already been found.
Moving along with the flow of the universe,
where the flow goes I am always bound.
There are some parents who drink with their children,
There are some parents who leave pills around,
but I'm a parent who uses a plant and I'm the worst fucking parent around.
What do we really want for our children ?
What do we really want them around?
What really is worse for our children?
The booze and the pills will put them in the ground.
I feel like i am breaking some ground here,
I feel like I'm exploring new ground,
I feel like I'm in uncharted territory,
I feel like the only one around
moving my children along in a cultural lifestyle that has already been found.
Moving along with the flow of the universe,
Where the flow goes I am always bound.

Buela
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
checks in for a while then its gone again,
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
Come take a ride on it if you can
Some people ride on it,
Some people laugh at it,
Some people just stare in awe.
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
Up North and across to Oregon
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
from Florida to the Holy Land
Some people ride on it,
Some people laugh at it,
Some people stare down their nose.
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
Checks in for a while then its gone again
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
come take a ride on it if you can
The Hippie Van it goes with no plan
Come take a ride on it if you can
Some people ride on it,
Some people fight on it,
Some people want to get out of the van.
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
come take a ride on it if you can
The Hippie Van, it goes with no plan
come take a ride on it if you can.

Teenie Weenie Babies
Teenie weenie babies, taken from Mama's arms
Teenie weenie babies setting off alarms
Alarms in my mind,
Screaming, screaming
Free the children, Free them now,
Free the children, we've got to free them now
Teenie weenie babies, needing a better life
Teenie weenie babies don't need this strife
We've got to free the children,Free them now
Free the children, we've got to free them somehow
Teenie weenie babies
Teenie weenie babies
Teenie weenie babies
I can think of people, should be in cages
but not teenie weenie babies in life's most delicate stages
Teenie weenie babies need love not cages
Teenie wenie babies need love not cages
Free the children, free them now
Free the children, we've got to free them somehow
Free the children, free them now
Free the children, we got to free them somehow
Through out the ages, we'll go down as;
the people who put babies in cages.
Free the children, free them now
Free the children, we've got to free them somehow.
Free the children, free them now
Free the children, we've got to free them somehow.
