21st Century Beatnik, Baby! Lyrics

I See Ginsberg in my mind,
Wax Lyrical, bottle of cheap wine,
Sitting under lightning tree,
Heavy lids, berating me,

Coz no one shouts their lines in prose,
The only line goes up the nose,
I sure am bummed, Bereft of Love,
Y'dig it man, d'ya feel that stuff.

Wooo, I can disappear
Wooo, I fear

I'm a 21st Century Beatnik, baby
The man with the golden eyes,
I'm a 21st century beatnik, baby
Can you dig my surprise

But I think I owe something to Kerouak
I stole the heart from you, sorry Jack
N' I got romance, and I got wine,
You got no cool take some of mine.

I'm a 21st Century Beatnik, baby
The man with the golden eyes,
I'm a 21st century beatnik, baby
Can you dig my surprise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
