Lies of a Hippie

You want to know about my life?
Yea, me and you are the same on the outside.
Colors of the rainbow, the symbol of peace all over our bodies.
We both need a haircut too. But trust me, good sir of the next door van,
we are completely different.

My brother was my only teacher.
He taught me the lessons of our life.
We didn't need parents, but all girls need a mom.
He said we don't need to follow rules, that we could do whatever we want.
But we ran away from a lot of things.
Save the animals, eat a salad, but that dog tasted pretty good.
He taught me in cars filled with smoke, but I could hold me breath.

Life seems great, but when do I get to have one?
When do I get my chance for money, and education, a home, or parents?

Now is my time. My brother can't hold me back,
because just like that dog, humans taste good too.
