Who Needs the Peace Corps? is the second track on the 1968 album We're Only in It for the Money by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.
Song structure
The lyrics of "Who Needs the Peace Corps?" mock hippies and people who follow the hippie fashion (such as wearing beads and leather bands, smoking dope, long hair) without caring about the social reflections and political views of the concept. It includes a monologue of a typical hippie wannabe, who aspires to find a rock band and become their road manager. As the song was quickly dated as the hippie movement faded, it was only performed live during the early years of the Mothers of Invention. (And briefly revived in 1988, as on the album The Best Band You've Never Heard In Your Life.
