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
