but his ghost lives on and on
Never made it to St. Adnan
But his spirit's livin' on and on
Maybe he has some problems
Maybe some things that he
and he sure told the truth
Never robbed any churches
Nor cut off any babies' heads
He just took the folks in high places
And he shined a light in their beds
He didn't want to live any more
but he didn't commit any crime
to rip off the lid before it's time
I rode with him in a taxi once
Only for a mile and a half
Seemed like it took a couple of miles
and the ones that killed him are gone
They said that he was sick,
cause he didn't play by the rules
He just showed the wise men of his day
To be nothing more than fools
They stopped him and they labeled him
Like they do with pants and shirts
He fought a war on a battlefield
he was the brother that you never
