Lenny Bruce (Live)

Lenny Bruce (Live) - Bob Dylan

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 of any babies 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 want to live anymore

They say 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

Lenny Bruce was bad he was the brother that you never had
