The End of June, 1966

          words and music by Bob MacKenzie

I was born in six, sixty-six,
and now I'm gone twenty-nine.
Don't know where to go;
don't know what to do.
I know I feel like dying.

My momma was a sweet hippie girl;
and my daddy played in a band.
They sang about freedom
and about free love
in every part of this land.

And now a whole generation has died
in our bodies and our souls;
we've come to the end
with no end in sight,
and the drummer slowly rolls.

six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
a black year to be born.

We were never here in our parents' eyes
and our children don't understand.
God, how I wish I was born before
and had joined that hippie band.

six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
a black year to be born.

I was born in six, sixty-six,
and now I'm gone twenty-nine.
A generation dead
or out of its head;
we've reached the end of our line.

six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
a black year to be born.

I was born in six, sixty-six,
and now I'm gone
twenty-nine.

six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
six, sixty-six
a black year to be born.

I was born in six, sixty-six,
and now I'm gone.
