(Intro riff 2x) D (intro riff) I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored. D (intro riff) I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd. G F G A I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til I'm blind. D I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded G Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed. A D (bar7) That's the hand I use, well, never mind! VERSE 2: (as before) I been Phil Spectored, resurrected. I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered. Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay. And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce, And all my wealth won't buy me health, So I smoke a pint of tea a day. D G I knew a man, his brain was so small, A He couldn't think of nothing at all. D He's not the same as you and me. G He doesn't dig poetry. A He's so unhip that when you say Dylan, D He thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas, G Whoever he was. A The man ain't got no culture, But it's alright, Ma, everybody must get stoned. VERSE 3: (as before) I been Mick Jaggered, silver daggered. Andy Warhol, won't you please come home? I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled, Been Roy Haleed and Art Garfunkeled. I just discovered somebody's tapped my phone.
