It’s a diss track against hippy bands with little musical ability but lots of opinions.

==Lyrics==
We grew our hair and learned to play guitar a little bit,</br>
[?] Made a record and it became a top 10 hit.</br>
Reporters ask us questions, our opinions make the news, </br>
and we haven’t read too many books, </br> but we’ll still be glad to give our views.</br>
We are experts on the Bomb, </br>
And the war in Vietnam, </br>
Yes we are, </br>
The new morality, </br>
And police brutality, </br>
And more,

Just pick a subject and we’ll take a stand,</br> We’re The Young Electric Psychedelic Hippie Flippy Folk And Funky Philosophic Turned On Groovy 12 String Band 

We’re strictly nonconformists, so we can’t 
look the same, </br>
And we all wear flowers, boots, and beads and will not play the game, </br>
We put on everybody because that’s very hip to do, </br>
And we’ve read our own publicity [?] to think it’s true. </br>
We’re experts on [?]</br>
Adult psychology, </br>
Yes we are. </br>
The whole suburban trap, </br>
And the generation gap, </br>
And more.

Just pick a subject and we’ll take a stand,</br> Cause we’re The Young Electric Psychedelic Hippie Flippy Folk And Funky Philosophic Turned On Groovy 12 String Band
