Lenny bruce lyrics

Artist  : Bob dylan 
Song : Lenny bruce
 
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.
