| Bob dylan is my father, joan baez is my mother
|
| And I’m their bastard son
|
| Though my roots show through I’m just 22
|
| I don’t belong to anyone
|
| When the band was disbanded, I was disowned
|
| I got a number you can ring me on but I ain’t got no phone
|
| Got a forwarding address, baby I ain’t got no home
|
| I got no direction home
|
| That’s the style of a bastard child
|
| This is the song of a bastard son
|
| Uncle lenny used to make me laugh
|
| Took away my nightmares, tore my daydreams in half
|
| Showed them to me reflected upside-down
|
| In the mirror that suzanne vega found
|
| Lenny’s still doing his tricks today
|
| Only goes to show that growing up might pay
|
| Bruce and james were family friends
|
| Took my mind to carolina through the new jersey bends
|
| Gave me a harmonica when I was three
|
| Nailed a banjo to my knees
|
| Now bruce is a foreman and james is a slave
|
| Bruce gave in and james just gave up
|
| My family didn’t grow up too well with technology
|
| And I think this is why they disowned me
|
| But now I wanna get back into the fold
|
| I don’t wanna be a black sheep, I don’t wanna grow old
|
| Here’s to warren, neil, t-bone, andy, lou, townes, elliott
|
| Tom, steve, elizabeth, elvia, dave
|
| You’re singing something good and it’s gotta be saved
|
| I think so!
|
| I’ve only just started playing guitar and already they say
|
| I’m a has-been
|
| Say my songs are too long, words are too strong, shoes
|
| Aren’t clean
|
| See the synthesizer’s broken, the 12 inch does not exist
|
| It’s gonna take a blessed life to get on to the hitlist
|
| I’m gonna need a blessed life to get on to the hitlist
|
| But I’m singing for the men, for the women and the kids
|
| Who grew up like me with seven basic instincts hid
|
| Bob dylan is my father, joan baez is my mother
|
| And I’m their bastard son. |
