If 6 Was 9 Lyrics

[00:08.36] Yeah, sing a song for us
[00:13.02] If the sun refused to shine
[00:19.25] I don't mind, I don't mind (yeah)
[00:26.63] If the mountains fell in the sea
[00:32.93] Let it be, it ain't me (well alright)
[00:40.84] I got my own world to look through, and ah
[00:45.50] And I ain't gonna copy you
[00:52.30] Yeah (it's alright)
[00:54.21] Now, if a six turned out to be nine
[01:00.42] I don't mind, oh, I don't mind (well alright)
[01:07.33] If all the hippies cut off all their hair
[01:14.39] I don't care, I don't care
[01:20.18] Dig, 'cause I got my own world to live through, and ah
[01:26.87] And I ain't gonna copy you
[01:33.05] White-collar conservative flashing down the streets
[01:36.30] Pointing their plastic finger at me
[01:39.23] They're hoping soon my kind'll drop and die
[01:41.64] But I'm, I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high, wow!
[01:48.41]
[02:05.96] Wave on, wave on
[02:07.88]
[02:54.99] Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
[03:00.28] Go 'head on Mr. Businessman
[03:02.80] You can't dress like me, yeah
[03:07.46]
[03:27.69] Don't nobody know what I'm talking about
[03:31.96] I've got my own life to live
[03:36.14] I'm the one that's gonna have to die
[03:37.59] When it's time for me to die
[03:40.69] So let me live my life
[03:44.13] The way I want to, yeah
[03:50.50] Sing on brother
[03:53.76] Play on drummer
[03:55.79]
