It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke  And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony  And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars  Hey I know it's just a song but it's spice for the recipe  This is a love attack I know it went out but it's back.  It's just like any fad it retracts before impact  And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and hip  If you got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the clique    [Chorus:]  So don't delay act now supplies are running out  Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive  And if you follow there may be a tomorrow  But if the offer is shun you might as well be walkin' on the sun    Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out  Of recession and oppression and together they toked  And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire  Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened  Then some were spellbound some were hellbound  Some they fell down and some got back up and  Fought back 'gainst the melt down  And their kids were hippie chicks all hypocrites  Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it    [Repeat Chorus]    It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked  With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked  The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up  Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus  So don't sit back kick back and watch the world get bushwhacked  News at 10:00 your neighborhood is under attack  Put away the crack before the crack puts you away  You need to be there when your baby's old enough to relate    [Repeat Chorus]
