lyrics

Sittin’ in a tenement
And got no bread to pay the rent
Somebody roll up a smoke
Pass those papers
Bill collector at my door
And I know what he wants me for
Got to have another toke
Zig-Zag papers
They took the water, left the pipes
Left the switches, took the lights
The stove is still here, but it’s broke

Sittin’ here by candlelight
And candles keep us warm at night
We ain’t got nothing to lose
Pay your dues now
Cops they made a raid next door
And then they got the bottom floor
There’s nobody left but us two
Me and you now
I’m paranoid and very stoned
Maybe I’m disaster prone
We’re talking ‘bout the Waller Street Blues

Waller Street, oh Waller Street
Wah wah wah wah Waller Street
The sweetest street in the Haight
Hippie Nation
Cole and Stanyan are so fine
But Waller she’s a friend of mine
Too bad you’re going all straight
Tech invasion
You had what you needed way back then
I just wanna feel that groove again

Come on make it real—love on Haight
Come on make it real—love on Haight
Pay your dues now
Come on make it real—love on Haight
Me and you now
Come on make it real—love on Haight
Hippie nation
Come on make it real—love on Haight
Tech invasion
Take the best from 1968—make it real
