A Simple Desultory Philippic by Paul Simon


I been Norman Mailered Maxwell Taylored

I been John O'Hara'd McNamara'd

I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til 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 of all my wealth won't buy me health

So I smoke a pint of tea a day

I knew a man his brain so small

He couldn't think of nothin' at all

He's not the same as you and me

He doesn't dig poetry he's so unhip that

When you say Dylan he thinks you're talkin' about Dylan Thomas

Whoever he is

The man ain't got no culture

But its alright Ma everybody must get stoned

 

I been Mick Jaggered 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

 

Folk rock

 

I lost my harmonica Albert
