The Sixties Songtext - T-Bone Burnett

I have a painter friend who says he actually slept with Jacqueline Kennedy...
Or was it John Kennedy? Maybe it was Jacqueline Bisset
At any rate I can tell I'm starting wrong. Let me begin again
There is a new breed of man. He's got a wife and some kids
He works behind a desk. Beside a computer
He watches a lot of television. Belongs to a health club
Drinks things like Cutty and 7 ... whatever that is
He wears faded Levis and Gucci loafers. His hair is long and perfectly groomed
He smoke the best marijuana. Wears a gold coke spoon in his pocket
And his speech is riddled with jargon like:
Far out, do your own thing, I hear you, Into it, blow my mind and freak.

And after a while he started hearing about free love, and he felt left out
And he tortured his imagination dreaming about pot parties
With those sun-tanned girls in halter tops with their cut-offs slit up to their belt loops
Then he saw a picture in Playboy of Ursula Andress on the arm of some hippy
And that did it. He began his rebellion late. But now he's got a designer camper
And one time he even got to sleep in it with one of those girls in the cut-offs
But it made me feel awful cause he had to pay her fifty dollars
And it was twenty for anybody else.

Here's the brave new world
In a mirror
20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
Keep all the bad destroy all the good
