Ballad of Marshall Ledbetter Lyrics
Six, six, six, Dunkin' Donuts
A twenty inch veggie pizza from Gumby's
Extra jalapenos on the side
And a case of Asahi DryI wish to speak with Timothy Leary
Lemmy, jello, and Ice Cube Too
Cartoon of Lucky's with filters
And bring a CNN news crewTalahasse, Florida
Four AM, June 14, '91
Capitol Building's occupied
Broke the glass, walked right insideWouldn't be advisable to enter
You don't know the number of hostiles
Of it anyone's got guns
Or is there's hostagesI just want to speak my mind
More for you than just one sound biteThis whole world is disturbing me
I wanna cut a rap record each month
And mail my little pinkie to George BushAgh, agh
Where are my friends
Where are you
Where are you
I can't believe it's come to thisSharpshooters on surrounding roofs
Traffic blocked off by SWAT troops
Evacuate the people inside
Pretend we're CNN, say Leary's deadI just want to speak my mind
More for you than just one sound biteTwelve forty five, he emerged unharmed
J.D. in one hand, in the other, cigars
Hendrix t-shirt and his underwear on
Guess what, he never had no gunI only broadcast my freakout to the world
I was a prisoner for twenty two years
When I broke through that door, I was free
Not to mention pretty damn lucky
(Nowadays, boy, you'd just get shot)
