Hippy irony
Babe · Other Songs - Babe
hajdemo svi na polja da sadimo
radimo, nek' se zemlja obraduje
sadimo, nek' se zemlja obradjuje
Ref.
Drvece, cvece, povrce
voce, sve biljke moguce
nek' polja budu sarena
i ideja ostvarena
kucamo na rajska vrata
kucamo na rajska vrata
Auto i kompjuter zaboravi
na polju neka ceo svet boravi
radimo, nek' se zemlja obraduje
sadimo, nek' se zemlja obradjuje
Ref.
Grad nas ponekad proguta
u stanove, hajmo na polja
pljunimo u dlanove
(2x)
Kucamo na rajska vrata

The recording reflects Babe's unique ability to blend folk instrumentation with sharp, critical lyrics that questioned societal norms and political hypocrisy. As part of his broader discography, this work exemplifies the genre's tendency to use irony as a tool for social commentary, resonating deeply with listeners who sought authentic expression amidst official propaganda. The track remains a significant example of how independent artists navigated censorship while maintaining a distinct voice.
