Hey Hippie Lyrics

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

Just because you drink that tea
Doesn't mean you're better than me
Putting nuts on your eye
Doesn't mean you're not gonna die

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

You don't have psychic ability
Not anymore than me
Fuck Feng Shui, fuck Tai Chi
And fuck Reiki

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

I know you think you're gonna have a thousand other lives when you die but the truth is you're just like every other piece of matter on this planet and you're just gonna rot, you god damned egomaniac... and that's science!

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

I Used To Think

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

Just because you drink that tea
Doesn't mean you're better than me
Putting nuts on your eye
Doesn't mean you're not gonna die

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

You don't have psychic ability
Not anymore than me
Fuck Feng Shui, fuck Tai Chi
And fuck Reiki

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

I know you think you're gonna have a thousand other lives when you die but the truth is you're just like every other piece of matter on this planet and you're just gonna rot, you god damned egomaniac... and that's science!

Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight
Hey, hippie, just want to get a few things straight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
