Lenny Bruce — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

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, thats for sure,

More of an outlaw than you ever were.

Lenny bruce is gone but his spirits livin on and on.



Maybe he had some problems, maybe some things that he couldnt 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.

Hes on some other shore, he didnt wanna live anymore.



Lenny bruce is dead but he didnt 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 didnt 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.
