Lenny Bruce is dead but his ghost lives on and on
Never did get any Golden Globe awardnever made it to Synanon.
He was an outlawthat s for sure
More of an outlaw than you ever were.
Lenny Bruce is gone but his spirit s livin on and on.
Maybe he had some problemsmaybe some things that he couldn t work out
But he sure was funny and he sure told the truth and he knew what he was talkin
about. Never robbed any churches nor cut off any babies heads
He just took the folks in high places and he shined a light in their beds.
He s on some other shorehe didn t wanna live anymore.
Lenny Bruce is dead but he didn t commit any crime
He just had the insight to rip off the lid before its time.
I rode with him in a taxi onceonly for a mile and a half
Seemed like it took a couple of months.
Lenny Bruce moved on and like the ones that killed himgone.
They said that he was sick cause he didn t play by the rules
He just showed the wise men of his day to be nothing more than fools.
They stamped him and they labeled him like they do with pants and shirts
He fought a war on a battlefield where every victory hurts.
Lenny Bruce was badhe was the brother that you never had.
