A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd into Submission)歌词

作词 : Paul Simon
作曲 : Paul Simon

I been Norman Mailered Maxwell Taylored

I been John O'Hara'd McNamara'd

I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind

I been Ayn Randed nearly branded
A Communist 'cause I'm left-handed

That's the hand I use well never mind

I been Phil Spectored resurrected

I been Lou Adlered Barry Sadlered

Well I paid all the dues I want to pay

And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce
And all of my wealth won't buy me health
So I smoke a pint of tea a day

I know a man's brain's so small

He couldn't think of nothing at all

Not the same as you and me
He doesn't dig poetry

He's so unhip when you say Dylan

He thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas

Whoever he was the man ain't got no culture

But it's alright ma everybody must get stoned

I been Mick Jaggered been silver daggered

Andy Warhol won't you please come home

I been mothered fathered aunt and uncled
Been Roy Haleed and Art Garfunkeled

I just discovered somebody's tapped my phone
