Easy Rider Page #11

Synopsis: Two young "hippie" bikers, Wyatt and Billy sell some dope in Southern California, stash their money away in their gas-tank and set off for a trip across America, on their own personal odyssey looking for a way to lead their lives. On the journey they encounter bigotry and hatred from small-town communities who despise and fear their non-conformism. However Wyatt and Billy also discover people attempting 'alternative lifestyles' who are resisting this narrow-mindedness, there is always a question mark over the future survival of these drop-out groups. The gentle hippie community who thank God for 'a place to stand' are living their own unreal dream. The rancher they encounter and his Mexican wife are hard-pushed to make ends meet. Even LSD turns sour when the trip is a bad one. Death comes to seem the only freedom. When they arrive at a diner in a small town, they are insulted by the local rednecks as weirdo degenerates.

- Everybody else, but not you.

- He descended into hell.

- And not me.

- The third day, He arose again...

...hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done...

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive...

You're such a fool, mother,

and I hate you so much.

We've done it. We've done it.

We're rich, Wyatt.

Yeah, man.

We did it, man.

We did it. We did it.

We're rich, man.

We're retired in Florida now,

mister.

You know, Billy...

we blew it.

What?

That's what it's all about.

I mean, like, you know.

You go for the big money, man,

and then you're free.

You dig?

We blew it.

Good night, man.

Darkness at the break of noon

Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child's balloon

Eclipses both the sun and moon

To understand you know too soon

There is no sense in tryin'

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn

Suicide remarks are torn

From the fool's gold mouthpiece

The hollow horn plays wasted words

Prove to warn

That he not busy bein' born

Is busy dyin'

Temptation's page flies out the door

You follow, find yourself at war

Watch waterfalls of pity roar

You feel to moan but unlike before

You discover that you'd just be

one more person cryin'

So don't fear

When you hear

A foreign sound to your ear

It's all right, Ma

I'm only sighin'

Hey, Arnold,

look at them two.

Pull alongside.

We'll scare the hell out of 'em.

Want me to blow your brains out?

Why don't you get a haircut?

What happened?

Billy!

Oh, my God.

- I'm going for help.

- I'm gonna get 'em.

We better go back.

I'm gonna get 'em.

We're ready now.

The river flows

It flows to the sea

Wherever that river goes

That's where I want to be

Flow, river, flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town

All he wanted was to be free

And that's the way

it turned out to be

Flow, river, flow

Let your waters wash down

Take me from this road

To some other town

Go, river, go

Past the shaded tree

Flow, river, flow

Flow to the sea

Flow, river, flow

Flow

To the sea
