A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission)
Simon & Garfunkel
I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell TayloredI been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'dI been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blindI been Ayn Randed, nearly brandedCommunist, 'cause I'm left-handedThat's the hand I use, well, never mindI been Phil Spectored, resurrectedI been Lou Adlered, Barry SadleredWell, I paid all the dues I want to payAnd I learned the truth from Lenny BruceAnd all of my wealth won't buy me healthSo I smoke a pint of tea a dayI knew a man, his brain so smallHe couldn't think of nothing at allHe's not the same as you and meHe doesn't dig poetry. He's so unhip thatWhen you say Dylan, he thinks you're talking about Dylan ThomasWhoever he wasThe man ain't got no cultureBut it's alright, maEverybody must get stonedI been Mick Jaggered, silver daggeredAndy Warhol, won't you please come home?I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncledBeen Roy Haleed and Art GarfunkeledI just discovered somebody's tapped my phone
