They Might Be Giants - I Should Be Allowed To Think Lyrics
I saw the best minds of my generationDestroyed by madness, starving, hystericalI should be allowed to glue my posterI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to glue my posterI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to thinkAnd I should be allowed to blurt the merest ideaIf by random whim, one occurs to meIf necessary, leave paper stains on the grey utility poleI saw the worst bands of my generationApplied by magic marker to dry wallI should be allowed to shoot my mouth offI should have a call in showI should be allowed to glue my posterI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to thinkAnd I should be allowed to blurt the merest ideaIf by random whim, one occurs to meIf necessary, leave paper stains on the grey utility poleI am not allowedTo ever come up with a single original thoughtI am not allowedTo meet the criminal government agent who oppresses meI was the worst hope of my generationDestroyed by madness, starving, hystericalI should be allowed to share my feelingsI should be allowed to feelI should be allowed to glue my posterI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to thinkI should be allowed to thinkAnd I should be allowed to blurt the merest ideaIf by random whim one occurs to meBut sadly, this can never beI am not allowed to thinkI am not allowed to thinkI am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
