we're turning again

purple haze

turn turn

turn turn

we're turning again

turn turn

turn turn

we're turning again

they took a whole bunch of acid

so they could see where it's at

(it's over there

over there

over there

over there

and under here also)

doont

da-doodem doodem!

they lived on a whole bunch of nothing

they thought they looked very good

they'd never ever worry

they were always in a hurry

to convince themselves that what they were

was really very groovy

yes

they believed in all the papers

and the magazines that defined their folklore

they could never laugh

at who or what they thought they were

or even what they thought

they sorta oughta be

they were totally empty

and their lives were really useless

so what the fuck?

they didn't have no sense of humor

now they got nothing left

to laugh about

including themselves

turn turn

turn turn

we're turning again

turn turn

turn turn

we're turning again

bprr. bprr. the year 1967

drug-crazed youth discovered vagrancy as a way of life

eww-ww!

dey were mellow

dey were yellow

dey were wearing smelly blankets

dey looked like donovan fans

(hu-ur-de-ee

gu-ur-de-ee)

dey walkin' 'round

with stupid flowers

in dey hair an' evvywhere

dey tried to stuff 'em up de guns

of all the cops and other servants of the law

who tried to push 'em around

and later moved 'em down

but they were full of all that shit

that they believed in

so what the fuck?

now i seen 'em tightenin' up dey headbands

on the weekend and dey get loaded

when dey came to town

dey walk around in greemich village

to buy posters dey could hang up

in dem smelly little secret

black light bedrooms

on lonn-island

singin': jimi come back!"
