I Should Be Allowed To Think Lyrics - John Henry - They Might Be Giants

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 gray utility pole 

I saw the worst bands of my generation 

Applied by Magic Marker to drywall 

I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off 

I should have a call-in show

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 gray utility pole 

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 worst hope of my generation 

Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical 

I should be allowed to share my feelings 

I should be allowed to feel 

Photos 

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 

I am not allowed to think 

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) 

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) 

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) 

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
