Buck 65 - 1957 lyrics

I saw the best minds
Of my generation destroyed
Devoid of conviction, conflicted, annoyed
Kicked at and worn down six Six Six
Beat looking for the next quick fix
Unpopular prophets with problems
Up against angels in disguise who
Want to rob them who didn’t want to end up
Crushed by God’s embrace
In the age of the cold wind
Blowing and dogs in space
Who’s faces are fading they’re
The loneliest drunk
In empty rooms haunted by Thelonious Monk
Felonious punks and plate glass squares
That see empty eyes that
Look straight past theirs
Street walking cheetahs with a
Gun in each hand who are lost at sea and
Are desperate to reach land
Orpheus descending swimming in
The crooked waters
Hello Sid Vicious, goodbye Brooklyn Dodgers

No joke hit the low note
We all go to heaven in a little row boat

1957 Chevy Bel Air interior velvet especially
Bloody probably stereo: Buddy Holly
Elvis Presley
Black Flame Trilogy quadruple louder bass
Battle sites little Rock satellites
In outer space
Words won’t help but a few bucks can
Crew cuts and black leather ku Klux Klan
Men wear hats in fact, harems are shared
Opiates addicted to and parents scared
The underground is real delivered
Greens to river queens
Perpetual motion of free-thinkers
And libertines
Who suffer alone all night with pains
Hooked on drums and who fight with chains
It’s Faulkner and Baldwin insult
And curse reality
Spy vs spy and the cult of personality
What can the numbers and the
Words in my head mean?
Killroy was here and so was
Buster Crab and Ed Gein

The pen keeps moving in attempt
To sink the jingoes
Fight ‘em with hula hoops
Frisbees and pink flamingoes
Up running all night late sleep ordered
‘Have gun will travel’ great leap forward
Man on the corner with dark
Glasses free and preaching
Appetite is monstrous diet is Dionysian
All over the world, so much peril in one show
Playwright Arthur Miller marries
Marilyn Monroe
Hard rain falling babies sleeping
In God’s palms
Alarm clocks ringing warrior monks
And bomb squads
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
Clairvoyants and mediums
Believers in nothing speed
Freaks and bohemians
Red is the new black identity files
Rebels and grand dragons obscenity trials
Lolita and Bobby Fisher country
No part is red
Just black and white humphrey Bogart is dead
