Lenny Bruce Lyrics

Cover art for Lenny Bruce lyrics by Bob Dylan

I love that line "nor cut off any babys' heads". It speaks volumes about how ridiculously bad the self-righteous human ego can make other peoples' "sins" out to be. Like a comedian could be so hated for no other reason than that he was taboo or swore. it throws in the listener's face the fact that most people (unless you murder children or something awful like that) are basically just trying to survive their own way in the world, you know?

Your sin is where you STILL stand and always WILL stand...along with stringing along someone for your own selfish gain. And it's placing all your emphasis on beauty...but only because you publicly held yourself up to a higher standard...another lie.
