THIS GROUP FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST HAD 15 HITS ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 40. THIS SONG WENT TO # 4 IN 1966. LYRICS: Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, here's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl

Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Don't you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

  • What's not to like about this song and band? One person disagrees.

  • @1962drob- someone told me Kim Jong Il is viewing videos on youtube now so....it must be him who hit the "dislike" button! No red-blooded American can dislike the Raiders! Ron

  • @rwells47 Yes!

  • simpsons send anyone else here?

  • the quality of this sound sucks but i'm not the one who voted it down.

  • @reg5381 Probably. 

  • Seen one incarnation of this group in concert, Paul Reeve is The last mad man of Rock and Roll

  • This song appeared being played in an episode from "The Simpsons", which had the special appearance of the nowadays ex-football (soccer in the USA) player Ronaldo.

  • @Baron4ever17 I think you are correct.

  • as far as i know, this is MAYBE the first anti drug song to come out of the 60's.....

  • the raiders would have been taken more serious had they shook those costumes.

  • Kim Jong probably has never even heard Paul Revere and the Raiders! What a jerk! And he votes "dislike." What a jerk!
