(Practically, every one of the top 40 records
Being played on every radio station
In the United States
Is a communication to the children
To take a trip, to cop out, to groove
The psychedelic jackets on the record albums
Have their own hidden symbols and messages
As well as the lyrics to all the top rock songs
And they all sing the same refrain
It's fun to take a trip; put acid in your veins)
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun, but I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
I've crossed the oceans, turned every bend
I found the plastic at the gold at rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years and it never bothered me
(And they all sing the same refrain
It's fun to take a trip; put acid in your veins)
Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'll tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind
