Annotation — Peace, Protest, & Anti-War Songs
Folk pop, hippie culture, love-ins, flowers, new generation. If you're going to San Francisco / Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair / If you're going to San Francisco / You're gonna meet some gentle people there / For those who come to San Francisco / Summertime will be a love-in there / In the streets of San Francisco / Gentle people with flowers in their hair / All across the nation such a strange vibration / People in motion / There's a whole generation with a new explanation / People in motion people in motion / For those who come to San Francisco / Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair / If you come to San Francisco / Summertime will be a love-in there / If you come to San Francisco / Summertime will be a love-in there
