Lyrics:
Born to hippie parents Given a different name Which he caught much flak for The world was his oyster And hollywood the clam When he grew up He joined a hippie band He was directed by gus van zandt We'd like to think he'd have joined the smartipantz Co-starred with flea and keanu We didn't know jackie O She was one of the people that we did not know Nor did we care about her hair Her pillbox hat and her savoir faire But still we thought we knew Maybe you did too River phoenix River phoenix Ian curtis And river phoenix And me and you Ne a des parents hippies Donne un drole de nom On lui a beaucoup taquine Le monde etait sa mere Hollywood la pierre Il n'etait pas pour cette terre Dirige par gus van zandt On aime penser qu'il aurait chante avec les smartipantz Co-star avec flea et keanu
