Lyrics:
He was sitting at the bar down at Sloppy Joe's
In a deadhead shirt, a little dust from the road
While the day came undone and that Key West sun 
Just disappeared
Had that what's up man 4:20 kinda charm
Little gray in his long hair, old ink on his arm
He looked strapped for cash and he didn't ask
But I bought him a beer
 
We talked about fishing, we talked about girls
And I sat there and listened while he went around the world
With his thumb in the air and it stuck in my head
When he took a long sip, looked at me and said
I don't need a big house
I don't need a fast car
Just a few good friends, cold beer in a bar
He closed his eyes and smiled kinda trippy
Said hey man even Jesus was a hippie
 
We kept popping them tops, stacking them cans
He said some people make fun of what they don't understand
And I felt born-again with my soul washed clean
While the neon buzzed down on Duvall Street and
 
We talked about fishing, we talked about girls
And I sat there and listened while he went around the world
With his thumb in the air and it stuck in my head
When he took a long sip, looked at me and said
I don't need a big house
I don't need a fast car
Just a few good friends, cold beer in a bar
He closed his eyes and smiled kinda trippy
Said hey man even Jesus was a hippie
 
Yes he really way
 
We were living in the moment, every worry was small
We lost track of that High Life clock on the wall
 
We talked about fishing, we talked about girls
And I sat there and listened while he went around the world
With his thumb in the air and it stuck in my head
When he took a long sip, looked at me and said
I don't need a big house
I don't need a fast car
Just a few good friends, cold beer in a bar
He closed his eyes and smiled kinda trippy
Said hey man even Jesus was a hippie
 
Even Jesus was a hippie

Jesus Was A Hippie

This explosive Dytopian Rock protest album from Barking Justice Music takes aim at AI disinformation, election sabotage, and billionaire propaganda cloaked as progress. Gritty, soulful, and urgent, each track pulls from folk traditions and modern outrage to confront a digital age where reality is under siege. These are anthems for the people still listening—and refusing to be fooled.  
“This isn’t just a soundtrack—it’s a firewall.” — BJM  
“We’re singing to remind you what’s real.” — BJM  
“When the truth is silenced, we amplify.” — BJM

The Illusion Machine - Check My Pulse

From flower child to frontline. I write protest anthems that call out injustice, awaken courage, and remember the country we once believed in. Barking Justice Music is my rebellion.
