Lenny Bruce is dead but his ghost lived 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 living 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 talking about |
|
Never robbed any churches nor cut off any babie's 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. |
