Remember when hippie days shaped a bygone era
A nostalgic reflection on slang from the 1960s and 70s. It contrasts meanings of words like hippie, pot, hooked, acid, grass, groovy, and fuzz with modern usage, noting language shifts and a sense of cultural decline. The verse laments changes in English and society, hinting at rot in life.
