Lenny Bruce |
Lenny Bruce is dead but his ghost lives on and on |
Never did get any Golden Globe award, never made it to Synanon |
He was an outlaw, that’s for sure |
More of an outlaw than you ever were |
Lenny Bruce is gone but his spirit’s livin' on and on |
Maybe he had some problems, maybe some things that he couldn’t work out |
But he sure was funny and he sure told the truth and he knew what he was |
talkin' about |
Never robbed any churches nor cut off any babies' heads |
He just took the folks in high places and he shined a light in their beds |
He’s on some other shore, he didn’t wanna live anymore |
Lenny Bruce is dead but he didn’t commit any crime |
He just had the insight to rip off the lid before its time |
I rode with him in a taxi once |
Only for a mile and a half, seemed like it took a couple of months |
Lenny Bruce moved on and like the ones that killed him, gone |
They said that he was sick 'cause he didn’t play by the rules |
He just showed the wise men of his day to be nothing more than fools |
They stamped him and they labeled him like they do with pants and shirts |
He fought a war on a battlefield where every victory hurts |
Lenny Bruce was bad, he was the brother that you never had |
