Down Under

Ispod Dole

Putujući u pregorelom kombiju Glave pune zombija, na hipi tragu.

Upozno sam čudnu frajlu, nervoznim me je činila

Skapirala me je i doručak mi dala

i rekla:

"Dolaziš li iz zemlje tamo dole?

Gde žene sijaju a muškarci pljačkaju?

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne čuješ kako grmi?

Bolje beži, bolje se sakri."

Kupijući hleb u Briselu od čoveka

Od metar devedeset višeg, punog mišića.

Rekoh: "Govorite li moj jezik?"

Nasmejo se samo i dao mi vegemit sendvič,

i rekao:

"Dolazim od tamo dole

gde pivo teče i ljudi povraćaju.

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne čuješ grmljavinu?

Bolje beži, bolje sakrij se, bogme."

U jazbini u Bombaju ležeći

labave vilice i bez ičeg naročitog za reči.

Rekoh čoveku: "Pokušavaš li da me iskušaš

jer dolazim iz zemlje izobilja?"

I reko je:

Dolaziš li iz zemle tamo odole, (o da, dabome)

gde žene blistaju a muškarci otimaju?

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne čuješ grmljavinu?

Bolje beži, bolje sakrij se."

Živeti u zemlji ispod dole

gde žene blistaju a muškarci pljačkaju.

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne možeš čuti kako grmi?

Bolje beži, bolje se sakri.

Živeti u zemlji ispod dole

gde žene blistaju a muškarci pljačkaju.

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne možeš čuti kako grmi?

Bolje beži, bolje se sakri.

Živeti u zemlji ispod dole

gde žene blistaju a muškarci pljačkaju.

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne možeš čuti kako grmi?

Bolje beži, bolje se sakri.

Živeti u zemlji ispod dole

gde žene blistaju a muškarci pljačkaju.

Zar ne čuješ, zar ne možeš čuti kako gromove?

In Australia, "hippies" are stereotypically live on streets, smoke marijuana (recreational marijuana is illegal in all of Australia except for the ACT, i.e in Canberra), unhygienic and (sometimes) rude. Therefore, in Australia many people tend to not associate with "hippies".
