Oh, Ex-Hippie!

A former “flower child” now advocates for war and embraces Big Pharma

Last month I told you how ChatGPT helped me write this new tune.  Here it is with professional vocals and excellent arrangement made by musicians on Fiverr.

Here is my rough demo before I sent it off to Fiverr:

Lyrics:

Oh, Ex-Hippie!

(Verse 1) Once a child of the 60s
spreading love in the air,
cdancing barefoot at Woodstock, with flowers in your hair
But something changed within, you took a different path,
Betraying all your values, turning your back on the past.

(Chorus) Oh, ex-hippie, what happened to your peace?
Now you advocate for war, you say your soul has been released.
Lost within the chaos, in a turncoat's disguise
Propping up Big Pharma, with your tainted ties.

(Verse 2) You used to chant for freedom, against all violence
Hugging trees, seeking harmony in the cool silence
But now you call for battles, against a different foe
Pointing fingers at The Big Bear, ready to go blow for blow.

(Chorus) Oh, ex-hippie, what happened to your game?
Now you advocate for war, you’re no longer the same.
Lost within the chaos, in a turncoat's disguise
Propping up Big Pharma, with your tainted ties.

(Bridge) Gone are the days of unity and love, xxReplaced by warmongering, a push and a shove
You’re blinded by power, and illusion of control
Trading your free spirit for a soul that's oh so cold.

(Verse 3) In Big Pharma's embrace, you find solace in their arms
Supporting their agenda, falling for their charms
But deep inside, you’re confused, a conflict rages on
A voice just keeps popping up, wondering where your old self has gone.

(Chorus) Oh, ex-hippie, what happened to your peace?
Now you advocate for war, you say your soul has been released.
Lost within the chaos, in a turncoat's disguise
Propping up Big Pharma, with your tainted ties.

(Outro) Oh, ex-hippie, can you find your way back? To the love and compassion that you used to pack
Let the seeds of love start to grow and bloom once again
And break free from the chains that bind you, Oh my ex-hippie friend.
