lyrics

Park bench in Denver, frigid cold night
Been begging for change from those who pass me by
They turn away, dirty homeless rat
Talking to myself in a beatnik scat

Wasn’t always like this
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Ten years in a suit and tie
Didn’t wanna be a corporate slave

Got a bad rep out on the streets
They all know not to fuck with me
Don’t mess around, don’t take no shit
Don’t got a name, they call me the Beatnik

No possessions, just my clothes
Ain’t got a dime to my name
Steal what I need, live carefree
Cast aside by a bunch of fakes

No problems to call my own
Take it easy, take it slow
Getting drunk, getting lit
Classic fuck up, they call me the Beatnik

I left that bullshit life behind
Was looking for something that I couldn’t find
I’m a crazy drunken lunatic
Psychotic outcast, I’m the Beatnik
