Abbie Hoffman - The Baghdaddios

Abbie Hoffman Lyrics

Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
He set the establishment on it’s ear, from Kent State to Chicago, might not’ve agreed with what he said.....
.....But still you had to listen.....
He did weird things to make you notice - long before the yuppies - but once the war was over, no one cared.....
.....And he joined the missing.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
And uniforms of tattered jeans give way to chic designer threads - and mineral spring water.....
.....Gets imported now from France.....
And voices from the inner city that once possessed an edge - are rappin’ instead of protesting.....
.....Oh we’d rather all break-dance
(let me hear ya’)
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....

Oh Abbie - this whole world is different - than it was some 20-odd years ago.....
Just when you felt that people were listening - the world grew cold - and you grew old.....
Abbie took his life in ‘89 - long after people stopped caring - what Mayor Daley couldn’t kill.....
.....Abbie finnished off himself.....
And half the kids on campuses - couldn’t tell you who the hell he was....Abbie Hoffman’s dead.....
.....And I don’t feel so well.........
Right after Abbie died the students through a protest - at first glance his spirit seemed emboddied
In this exhibition.....
The students thrust their collective fists - but Abbie wasn’t smiling - the reason they had come together.....
.....Was to protest a raise in their tuition
And Abbie - this whole world is different - than it was some 20-odd years ago.....
Just when you felt that people were listening - the world grew cold - and you grew old.....
(yeah, yeah, yeah....)
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so well.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel.....(Aaahhh)
Abbie Hoffman’s dead.....well now Abbie Hoffman’s dead....Well now Abbie Hoffman’s dead....Oh no .....Abbie Hoffman’s dead..........noooo....nooooo.......
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so welllll.....
Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and I don’t feel so good myself....Abbie Hoffman’s dead - and - I - don’t feel - so - well
