Lyrics:

They Might Be Giantsallen Ginsberg)

i Saw The Best Minds Of My Generation
destroyed By Madness, Starving, Hysterical

i Should Be Allowed To Glue My Poster
i Should Be Allowed To Think
i Should Be Allowed To Glue My Poster
i Should Be Allowed To Think
i Should Be Allowed To Think
i Should Be Allowed To Think

and I Should Be Allowed To Blurt The Merest Idea
if By Random Whim, One Occurs To Me
if Necessary, Leave Paper Stains On The Grey Utility Pole
i Saw The Worst Bands Of My Generation
applied By Magic Marker To Dry Wall

i Should Be Allowed To Shoot My Mouth Off
i Should Have A Call In Show
i Am Not Allowed
to Ever Come Up With A Single Original Thought
i Am Not Allowed
to Meet The Criminal Government Agent Who Oppresses Me
i Was The Best Hope Of My Generation
destroyed My Madness, Starving, Hysterical

i Should Be Allowed To Share My Feelings
i Should Be Allowed To Feel
i Should Be Allowed To Glue My Poster
i Should Be Allowed To Think
i Should Be Allowed To Think
i Should Be Allowed To Think

and I Should Be Allowed To Blurt The Merest Idea
if By Random Whim One Occurs To Me
but Sadly, This Can Never Be
i Am Not Allowed To Think
