Simon & Garfunkel A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd into Submission) Lyrics

I been Norman Mailer'd, Maxwell Taylor'd,
I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd,
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til I'm blind.
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
a communist 'cause I'm left handed:
That's the hand I use, well, never mind.

I been Phil Spector'd, resurrected.
I been Lou Adler'd, Barry Sadlered.
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay,
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
And all of my wealth won't buy me health,
So I smoke a pint of tea a day.

I knew a man whose brain's so small,
He couldn't think of nothin' at all,
He's not the same as you and me.
He doesn't dig poetry.
He's so unhip
When you say Dylan
He thinks you're talkin' 'bout Dylan Thomas,
Whoever he was.
The man ain't got no culture.
But it's alright Ma,
Everybody must get stoned.

I been Mick Jagger'd, been Silver Dagger'd.
Andy Warhol won't you please come home.
I been mother, fathered, aunt and uncled,
Been Roy Halleed and Art Garfunkled,
And I just discovered
Somebody's tapped my phone.

Folk Rock

I've lost my harmonica, Albert.
