Lyrics:I Should Be Allowed To Think

From This Might Be A Wiki
I Should Be Allowed To Think
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1994

I saw the best minds of my generation Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think

I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea If, by random whim, one occurs to me If necessary, leave paper stains on the gray utility pole

I saw the worst bands of my generation Applied by magic marker to dry wall I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off I should have a call-in show

I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea If by random whim, one occurs to me If necessary, leave paper stains on the gray utility pole

I am not allowed To ever come up with a single original thought I am not allowed To meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me

I was the worst hope of my generation Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical I should be allowed to share my feelings I should be allowed to feel

I should be allowed to glue my poster I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think I should be allowed to think And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea If by random whim, one occurs to me But sadly, this can never be

I am not allowed to think I am not allowed to think I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
