Ballad of Marshall Ledbetter

Six, six, six, Dunkin' Donuts

A twenty inch veggie pizza from Gumby's

Extra jalapenos on the side

And a case of Asahi Dry

I wish to speak with Timothy Leary

Lemmy, jello, and Ice Cube Too

Cartoon of Lucky's with filters

And bring a CNN news crew

Talahasse, Florida

Four AM, June 14, '91

Capitol Building's occupied

Broke the glass, walked right inside

Wouldn't be advisable to enter

You don't know the number of hostiles

Of it anyone's got guns

Or is there's hostages

I just want to speak my mind

More for you than just one sound bite

This whole world is disturbing me

I wanna cut a rap record each month

And mail my little pinkie to George Bush

Agh, agh

Where are my friends

Where are you

Where are you

I can't believe it's come to this

Sharpshooters on surrounding roofs

Traffic blocked off by SWAT troops

Evacuate the people inside

Pretend we're CNN, say Leary's dead

I just want to speak my mind

More for you than just one sound bite

Twelve 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 gun

I 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)
