Yeah, they call me a beatnik

I don’t really care

I won’t ever be like them…square

I have thoughts you know

About the earth and it’s care

I have tried to expand my mind

With whatever is there

My friends understand me

We all live together

We keep to ourselves and they call us a cult

We just want to survive and figure it out

War and protests, rights for all people

Don’t need to be in a place under some steeple

We respect your space and you should ours

As we speak our poetry in clubs in late hours

We just want peace, to travel around

Spread the word that the world isn’t sound

So call me a beatnik, whatever you choose

But respect the concepts, we have new ideas and views.
