C#m D BI should be allowed to think
Chorus:
C#m D AI should be allowed to glue my poster
B E A EI should be allowed to think
A E A EI should be allowed to think
A E BI should be allowed to think
C#m D A BAnd I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea
C#m D A Bif by random whim one occurs to me
C#m D A BIf necessary leave paper stains
C#m D EOn the gray utility pole
Verse 2:
I saw the worst bands of my generation
Applied by magic marker to drywall
I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off
I should have a call-in show
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
A C#m
I Am not allowed ( to evere up with a single original thought )
F#7 - A B
I Am not allowed ( to meet the criminalernment agent oppresses me )
Verse 3:
I was the worste of my generation
Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical
I should be allowed to share my feelings
I should be allowed to feel
Chorus:
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
Outro:
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)
