Lyrics

1969
 

In 1969 the Eagle landed on the moon
In 1969 when John and Yoko sang their tune
The words "give peace a chance" resounded from a hotel room
In 1969 an Easy Rider rode the range
And we believed that everything could change
 
In 1969 a river burned in Ohio
In 1969 the streets were filled with tie-dyed clothes
A generation marched against a war that they opposed
In 1969 the anger tuned to Days Of Rage
And we believed that everything could change
 
Chappaquiddick, Altamont, the Nixon Doctrine too
Charlie Manson, Mrs. Robinson, Cu-cu-ca-choo
 
In 1969 we watched the crowds at Woodstock grow
In 1969 we took a ride on Abbey Road
A storm they called Camille destroyed the Mississippi coast
In 1969 some tried to be a force for good
Love and Peace and brotherhood were all they understood
In 1969 we knew things could not stay the same
In 1969 we changed the world
