Lyrics
Positively Madison Avenue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jokerman takes off his mask
Unmasks a car salesman at last
Says: Grow up son you know it's just a masquerade
Now be a good boy and get me and the Boss a Gatorade
You can work up quite a thirst
Watching all them bubbles burst
I was following Gandhi on the Twitter
He tweeted: Son, I don't like to see you bitter
But if you wanna get into this kinda shape
It's abstinence and a protein shake
You can lose your appetite
Watching wrong pass for right
You can lose your appetite
Watching wrong pass for right
Save me a place at the bar
Bobby Dylan sellin' cars
All hail the stripes and stars
Bobby Dylan sellin' cars
Lawyers critics bloggers vultures
Pick their percentage off the carcass of the culture
In Rome we fiddle as corporations
Pull out to other countries and give America a facial
All men are created equal (more or less)
Free to negotiate a sequel (God bless)
Don't call me hypocrite naive
You can take as good as give and still believe
Motown Slim pitches a lucky seven
While a beleaguered Pete Seeger has to hitch his way to heaven
Oh, I have learned the victors' secrets
You can shill panties and still remain a genius
Save me a place at the bar
Bobby Dylan sellin' cars
All hail the stripes and stars
Bobby Dylan sellin' cars
I don't wanna complain
But this whole world seems strange
The writing on the wall I think
Was written in disappearing ink
Oh, I'm sure your morals are beyond reproach
But it's not like I'm asking you to fly coach
I know it's uncool not to be ironic
And I know that you're bulletproof iconic
And I know I shouldn't be throwin' stones
Cause chasin' spooks on Fox I made my bones but
We're all guilty as sin
Of looking for someone we can keep from gettin' in
And those who used to hustle hope
Fashion nooses now out of the velvet rope
But I guess there's really nothing much to do
Cause only you could write the song to get to you
But I guess there's really nothing much to do
Cause only you could write the song to get to you
Save me a place at the bar
Bobby Dylan sellin' cars
All hail the stripes and stars
Bobby Dylan sellin' cars
