| You were such a prophet back in '63 |
| You had all the answers |
| You became the first to set the children free |
| But nothing lasts forever, does it |
| Time goes on and dreams, they wash away |
| You traded in your karma for the 70's |
| Searching for a meaning |
| You rented out your land up in Monterey |
| Livin' for the city |
| Disco nights, you’d swing, and wonder why |
| O.C.O.E. — you got charisma |
| O.C.O.E. — you fit the picture |
| Somewhere in the netherworld of cons and scams |
| Lives a lost messiah |
| Rushin' to the future and runnin' from the past |
| Intent on getting higher |
| So knocked out, so real, a hopeless jag |
