New York City, 1963 Lyrics - Singles - Nodes Of Ranvier

We could have had it all in our studio on 4th street 

Every morning we rose with hope that we could change the world 

or at least one mind 

The songs came from Harvard Square and no longer were so rare 

The poets strummed their strings at the thought of changing things. 

It started wtih Woodie G and came strong with Bobby D. 

At night the bearded boys fled 

and all the lank haired girls came too 

To converted sandal shops to hear the words 

They came to hear the words 

They longed for another cause 

And when the next day came they took action 

My beautiful blue collared army 

With eyes buried in books 

you never saw it coming 

The day your cause would come crashing 

Because soon it went pop 

But you never asked for San Francisco 

And all that came with it 

God get us back to NYC, 1963
