Bm I saw the C best minds of G my gene-A ration
Des-Bm troyed by C madness, G starving and hys-A terical
Bm I should be a-C llowed to G glue my A poster
Bm I should be a-C llowed to A think

Bm I should be a-C llowed to G glue my poster
A I should be a-D llowed to G think D
G I should be allowed D to G think D
G I should be allowed D to A think

And I should be a-Bm llowed
to C blurt the G merest i-A dea
If by Bm random C whim one oc-G curs to A me
If Bm neces-C sary, G leave paper A stains
on the Bm gray u-C tility D pole

Bm I saw the C worst bands of G my gene-A ration
Ap-Bm plied by C magic G marker to A dry wall
Bm I should be a-C llowed to G shoot my A mouth off
Bm I should have a C call in A show

Bm I should be a-C llowed to G glue my poster
A I should be a-D llowed to G think D
G I should be allowed D to G think D
G I should be allowed D to A think

And I should be a-Bm llowed
to C blurt the G merest i-A dea
If by Bm random C whim one oc-G curs to A me
If Bm neces-C sary, G leave paper A stains
on the Bm gray u-C tility D pole

I am not a-G llowed
To ever come up with a Bm single original thought
I am not a-E7 llowed
To meet the criminal government G agent who op-A presses me

Bm I was the C worst hope of G my gene-A ration
Des-Bm troyed by C madness, G starving and hys-A terical
Bm I should be a-C llowed to G share my A feelings
Bm I should be a-C llowed to A feel

Bm I should be a-C llowed to G glue my poster
A I should be a-D llowed to G think D
G I should be allowed D to G think D
G I should be allowed D to A think

And I should be a-Bm llowed
to C blurt the G merest i-A dea
If by Bm random C whim one oc-G curs to A me
But Bm sadly, C this can G never be
A I am not allowed D to G think A G
A G I am not allowed to think A G
A G I am not allowed to think…
