Poem for Lenny Bruce Preach it brother Put your mouth to steel mic Tell your jokes man in black & racist white Step upon that stage in suit Shiny shoes, cheeks of stubble Make me laugh under your influence of booze Bust a gut of blood on lap of Supreme Court Justice Titty twisting family values Dirty Lenny capitalized, handcuffed, bandwagoned by badges, district attorney Unrestricted artist pave the way for the Eddie Murphys Andrew Dice Clays Feed them 4th amendment rights like breakfast cereal stuff porno mags down the president's pants. Come to my birthday party and perform your act Sing me a lullaby Tell me your knock knock jokes Take my hand hard in this unjust courtroom Salute with your masturbatory gestures. we shall shoot heroin together Sink into young groupies Give it away beneath bathroom sink This is the needle of the world that pricks your veins. The world tries to duct tape your mouth for telling too many dick stories Don't hide Lenny, in your LA mansion that's just what they want. Sit at your typewriter, write your letters about persecution. Eat your raisin cookies. Liquor of choice trickles down your throat, Big boy of open sores Mother blue eyed knock on your door letting you know she's leaving Conspiracy beasts Lawyers killed you with their laws Judges killed you with their judgments Policemen killed you with their policed Nightsticks Religious fanatics kill you with beating bible Rotten tomatoes, heads of lettuce stain shiny black suit Black & white mic shoved up Republican ass Fight powers the powers that be in their cheap toupees four eyed glasses Make them suck your talented dick I love you Lenny I am the man who gives a fuck Who sits writing this tribute poem to you oh beautiful comedian of New York Don't give your life away under kitchen sink Tell me dirty jokes I'll be waiting in your living room practicing with applause Wait desperately outside comedy clubs for your autograph Wait for you to kiss me on the cheek and tell me that everything's going to be okay Tuck me beneath blanket of red white & blue read bedtime stories of half ass amendments U.S Constitution broken down crashed glass Say what you want Lenny Tell those dirty jokes as I declare this Lenny Bruce day Who never got a fare trial Conspiracy theories run through liberal brain of black dope Great black dope of hope who kicks the shit out of powers that be This is how many times I've been arrested in one state This is how many times I have said fuck Expose yourself to the world This is how many times I have picked on a woman's tits This is how many times I have ridiculed religion Piss on floor of the Dick Cavett Show Piss on pants leg of the self-righteous Hang them high TV evangelist of 37 Speak your mind Lenny Say what you feel Take out your mic & speak Fresh out of jail lets raise some hell Cuss to your linoleum floor LOVE YOUR FUCKING COUNTRY sarcastically Speak Lenny against fascism Speak Lenny against organized religion Speak Lenny against Christianity Speak Lenny with insanity Speak Lenny profanity profanity Speak Lenny against apartheid Speak Lenny tell the TRUTH Speak Lenny against America Crucifixion Speak Lenny against these picket signs Speak Lenny & make George Washington cum Speak Lenny for dead beatnik angels Speak for black folks Speak for yellow folks Speak for red folks Speak for slanted malnourished nation Speak for the military fags Speak against black violence Speak for the black man dragged by Texas Pick up truck Speak for all the queers dead under gun, baseball bat in alley way of night club Tell my daddy your spic and span jokes Teenage fools in trench coats Speak against racism Goddamned cowards covered in hood Put out that burning cross Lenny And speak your mind
