I went to Denver
Late last fall
I went to do my job
Yeah I didn’t break any law
We worked a hippie place
Like many in our land
They couldn’t bust the place
And so they got the band
'Cause the police in Denver
No, they don’t want none of them long hairs hanging around
And that’s the reason why
They want to tear Canned Heat’s reputation down
You people in Denver
Will know what I mean
Yeah, the things I’m gonna tell ya
Yeah, you’ve all heard and seen
You remember when a cop on the beat
Used to rob and steal
Today they’re gone, but the others get it on
So you know just how I feel
'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, they don’t want none of them long hairs hanging around
And that’s the reason why
They try to tear Canned Heat’s reputation down
Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy
They ain’t gonna do it though
Let me tell you this just one more time
Just one more thing I wanna tell ya
Before I go
It’s a shame the Man in Denver
Has to lie and mistreat people so
Now six months ain’t no sentence
One year ain’t no time
When I hear from one to ten
It worries my troubled mind
'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, don’t want no long hairs around
And that’s the reason why
They try to tear Canned Heat’s reputation down
to truely keep the memory of canned heat alive u play their original records loud,yeah no cds in this house just good old analogue vinyl,n when i heard sundazed,s vinyl version of the 1st lp i was appauled,so many overdubs i lost count,it sickens me cos this isnt how the band intended it 2 b heard,respect is totally absent when u pointlessly remove huge parts of the recording,just 2 hide how sonically inferior digital vinyl is,im a musician 2 respect the past u dont change it,great band
They were one of the top bands of all the music back in the day in Cleveland. Stevie Wonder and Frank Zappa, Todd Rundgren, all the incredible music that was created were in Cleveland too baby :D. Peace!
long live us hippies! thanks for putting this up! one day i find this album and my turntable is bogus or i get the table turning and cant remember where i stashed the album! God loves the hippy!
