Charles Bukowski - Having the flu and with nothing else to do lyrics

I read a book about John
Dos Passos and according to
The book once radical-communist
John ended up in the Hollywood
Hills living off investments and reading the
Wall Street Journal

This seems to happen all too often

What hardly ever happens is
A man going from being a
Young conservative to becoming an
Old wild-ass radical however:
Young conservatives always seem to become old
Conservatives
It's a kind of lifelong mental vapor-lock

But when a young radical ends up an
Old radical the critics
And the conservatives
Treat him as if he escaped from a mental
Institution

Such is our politics and you can have it all

Keep it

Sail it up your ass
