Artist: They Might Be Giants

Song: I Should Be Allowed To Think

Album: John Henry

Verse 1:

C#m D A B

I saw the best minds of my generation

C#m D A B

Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical

C#m D A B

I should be allowed to glue my poster

C#m D B

I should be allowed to think

Chorus:

C#m D A

I should be allowed to glue my poster

B E A E

I should be allowed to think

A E A E

I should be allowed to think

A E B

I should be allowed to think

C#m D A B

And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea

C#m D A B

if by random whim one occurs to me

C#m D A B

If necessary leave paper stains

C#m D E

On the gray utility pole

Verse 2:

I saw the worst bands of my generation

Applied by magic marker to drywall

I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off

I should have a call-in show

Chorus:

I should be allowed to glue my poster

I should be allowed to think

I should be allowed to think

I should be allowed to think

And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea

If by random whim one occurs to me

If necessary leave paper stains

On the gray utility pole

Bridge:

A C#m

I am not allowed ( to ever come up with a single original thought )

F#7 - A B

I am not allowed ( to meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me )

Verse 3:

I was the worst hope of my generation

Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical

I should be allowed to share my feelings

I should be allowed to feel

Chorus:

I should be allowed to glue my poster

I should be allowed to think

I should be allowed to think

I should be allowed to think

And I should be allowed to blurt the merest idea

If by random whim one occurs to me

But sadly, this can never be

Outro:

I am not allowed to think

I am not allowed to think

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)

I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think)
