National Lampoon's "Lemmings"
National Lampoon's Lemmings was a 1973 Off-Broadway satire that mocked the counterculture, especially Woodstock-era idealism, by turning the rock festival into a darkly comic spectacle called "Woodshuck: Three Days of Peace, Love and Death." It mixed sketch comedy with musical parody, and it became especially famous for featuring early performances by John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Christopher Guest.
Between the politicians polarizing power trips
We're just too pure and peaceful to decide
So we got our heads together
While the planet fell to bits
Now the one side left to take is suicide, yeah
We are lemmings
We are crazies
We will feed our flower habits
Pushing daisies
If you're put upon by powers
If you're restless for release
Death just might be the final rush you crave
We all believe in flowers and we all believe in peace
And there's endless peace and flowers in the grave
We are lemmings
We are crazies
We will feed our flower habits
Pushing daisies
We all want to go underground
And get back to the Earth
We don't want nothing if it isn't free
A mighty mass of furry little mindless animals
A million lemmings marching to the sea
We are lemmings
We are crazies
We will feed our flower habits
Pushing daisies
