NIna Simone’s got life and I’ve got Nina Simone
I’m a dreamer, like John Lennon, when he met Yoko
Jimi Hendrix had kissed me with his band of gypsies
Leonard Cohen had suzanne and now he has whiskey
we have what is gone
as the beat travels on
babylon bore a beast under atom’s bomb
now the music we have
does not have the brains that kurt cobain had drained
because all of these artists had pain
in their hearts
now there’s no shame
it’s all fame from the top of the pop charts
aim is way off
because artists get paid to play soft
what the fuck?!
even indie bands play two hand touch
with the blue man group
and talk soup
coup d’ etat…
lets make music to god again
