|
I went to |
|
Denver Late last fall |
|
I went to do my job |
|
Yeah I didn't break any law |
|
We worked a hippie place |
|
Like many in our land |
|
They couldn't bust the place |
|
And so they got the band ' |
|
Cause the police in |
|
Denver No, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around |
|
And that's the reason why |
|
They want to tear |
|
Canned Heat's reputation down |
|
You people in |
|
Denver Will know what |
|
I mean Yeah, the things |
|
I'm gonna tell ya |
|
Yeah, you've all heard and seen |
|
You remember when a cop on the beat |
|
Used to rob and steal |
|
Today they're gone, but the others get it on |
|
So you know just how |
|
I feel 'Cause the police in |
|
Denver Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around |
|
And that's the reason why |
|
They try to tear |
|
Canned Heat's reputation down |
|
Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy |
|
They ain't gonna do it though |
|
Let me tell you this just one more time |
|
Just one more thing |
|
I wanna tell ya |
|
Before I go |
|
It's a shame the |
|
Man in Denver |
|
Has to lie and mistreat people so |
|
Now six months ain't no sentence |
|
One year ain't no time |
|
When I hear from one to ten |
|
It worries my troubled mind ' |
|
Cause the police in |
|
Denver Lord, don't want no long hairs around |
|
And that's the reason why |
|
They try to tear |
|
Canned Heat's reputation down |
