It's so strange to me how this generation could have been the one that produced us "Generation X" kids. But then we turned around and produced the "millennials", somehow. Who knows?
2 dislikes really are you kidding, I guess some people don't like puppies either, actually I saw on Ole hippie there were 76 dislikes? Gotta wonder where this country and world is headed?
you say kanye west i say toby keith country runs strong and theres nothing they can do to stop it long live willie,merl haggard,hank jr, and all the other country songwriters stay stong!
@olddocman Great Lakes-yeah,my dad went there in '43..I went to Parris Island!!!!So did my oldest son,years later..But,we thank you for the rides you gave us! LOL
Man, this is an astounding song, very prophetic; kids of the kids of the baby boom turned into obamabots and are more concerned about sports and technology than we are about the falling of the republic and the standard of living.
Artists with very few equals, these guys understand so much that the rest of America has not a clue to and has for so long. I will always hold them in very high regard. Their music has so much to say if you just listen to the words, they write and sing from the heart.
BTW, We'll have a chance to "get back to the way it was", or "get back to a simpler time", when the kids of the baby boom are finally out of power, and are the same temperature as the surrounding soil.
My parents were kids of the Baby Boom, & I grew up hearing the Bellamys & various other country artists on the radio. Sadly, the prosperity sung about in this song has given way to recession, & all offspring (fortunate or otherwise) do have to pay. On the bright side, the Baby Boom has given way to a Baby Bust, which can help slow down "the farms disappear[ing] & the sky turn[ing] black." More now than we did then, we do "stop to think what we consume." Kudos for UL'ing this!
@CCRoxtar Actually the smaller farms are still disappearing and the massive corporate farms are taking their place. I know because I grew up on a small farm and I still live in the country and see all the bigger farms producing mass fields of grain and the government is paying them instead of the smaller farmers who understand the rules of the earth.
love and peace is good for everone, but there are times when you need to stand up and fight for what you believe in and these are the times, people need to wake up, vote for the way you want this country to be, put the guys that will stand up for what you believe in in a postition take back this country and if that dont work then we do for the time being still have our guns and i hope that there are enough people left that know what this country once was and are willing to take it back.
@shellbell391 Thank you they are my third cousins! My grandma Bessy Bellamy's cousins. Although no one believes you when you say that kinda stuff. I actually don't really like country that much but love them + they are family.
It's scary because you would think that a group of people who are more educated, have better technology, advances in medicine, etc. would be a better world but it's like we are going backwards. It's crazy.
GREAT song so relivent and so true ! I had a tee shirt that read " NOT until the LAST stream is damned the LAST tree is cut the LAST field is paved over WILL MAN RELIZE HE CAN"T EAT MONEY" ! America has been sold out from under us to the lowest paying countries to make the highest profit for a few money grubbers ! now our children will pay the price with poverty, hunger and homelessness because of GREED ! WAKE UP AMERIKA its time for us to grab our guns band together and fight to get it back
Its sad that the baby boom times are gone and now the grandchildren of the baby boom have little future for jobs and hope. Our nation has been destroyed from the inside out and my only peace is to know that my parents,the baby boomers are not around to see the nation they worked so hard for has turned to $hit. Good job Bellamy Brothers... I love your music.
hippys rule im one haha an i rule lol spread the peace and love u have inside u to others and u will get it back choose to be positive be happy and if u got it give it away and it will come back to u universal law what u give to another u really give to urself coz there is only one of us doing everything WE ARE ALL ONE being human for each other to each other so love every1 and give happiness to all around u and that will just top ur happiness inside u up peace an love to u all
Thank You very much for uploading this wonderful song, soo much food for tought and more actual then ever. I wish more people would listen and understand the real meaning, Thank You, health and luck to You.
