about

By Aaron Nathans and Phil Henry

“This was written with my frequent collaborator, Aaron Nathans (‘Old Joe’s Chair’, ‘Green Song’). Our parents were of the Woodstock generation, and the confluence of music and activism was not repeated by our own generation.”

lyrics

My parents met at Woodstock - Yes, they tell me all the time
When they're talkin’ ‘bout their generation - I see the tears in their eyes
“Three days of peace and love - The like you'll never know.”
They say “I feel bad for you, son -Cause you missed the show.

We sang along with Janis - And we danced to beat The Band
When Santana called the tribe - We howled and clapped our hands
We held each other in the rain - When the thunderstorm blew through
And Sunday we were born again - When the sun rose on The Who

You may rock and you may roll - Wear down the records, turn up the radio
But you're chasing echoes from a time long ago
Well I hate to tell you, honey - But you missed the show

You see, our world was burning, Our brothers dying in the war
In that void, we found a voice we never had before
And on that farm, we dug down deep -To plant the seeds of love
And feel the music rising up - Our revolution had begun

You may rock and you may roll - Wear down the records, turn up the radio
But you're chasing echoes from a time long ago
Well I hate to tell you, honey - But you missed the show

And now I'm at a club - And I'm waiting on the floor
The house lights dim - The amps break in
And I feel a mighty roar
The sound is full of fury - And the crowd’s teeming through the hall
And screaming all his pain is Cobain - In the center of it all

We're staging our rebellion - And we're working out our rage
I'm not sure what we’re fighting for - But it doesn't feel the same
And as I watch him smash his axe -Like Jimi long ago
I get the strangest feeling -Like I missed the show

We may rock and we may roll -But it's a paler shade of somethingWe'll never really know
Yes, we're chasing echoes from a time long ago
And I hate to admit it, but we missed the show
