(They Might Be Giants/Allen Ginsberg)  I saw the best minds of my generation  Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical  I should be allowed to glue my poster  I should be allowed to think  I should be allowed to glue my poster  I should be allowed to think  I should be allowed to think  I should be allowed to think  And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea  If by random whim, one occurs to me  If necessary, leave paper stains on the grey utility pole  I saw the worst bands of my generation  Applied by magic marker to dry wall  I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off  I should have a call in show  I am not allowed  To ever come up with a single original thought  I am not allowed  To meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me  I was the best hope of my generation  Destroyed my madness, starving, hysterical  I should be allowed to share my feelings  I should be allowed to feel  I should be allowed to glue my poster  I should be allowed to think  I should be allowed to think  I should be allowed to think  And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea  If by random whim one occurs to me  But sadly, this can never be  I am not allowed to think  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
