Benjamin Franklin flew that kite
Out there in the middle of the storm
Abraham Lincoln grew his beard
To keep Mrs. Lincoln warm
Edison turned the lights on
Must’ve been a hell of a scene
I was raised by wolves
Born on Halloween

Shakespeare’s got a mail order Uzi
Shakespeare’s got a gun, he’s gonna use it
Shakespeare’s got a prostitute named Suzy
Shakespeare’s got a gun he’s gonna use it
It seems some monkey, just outside of Pittsburgh
Finally typed out Hamlet, typed out Hamlet, word for word
Shakespeare’s pissed off, Shakespeare’s got an Uzi
Shakespeare’s got a gun, he’s gonna use it

The day the Elvis died was like a mercy killing
America breathed a sigh of relief
We knew all about the drugs and the Vegas shows
And there wasn't much of anything that looked like grief

And I guess he shoulda done like James Dean did
'Stead of putting on weight and sinking down, down, down
Easier to take if he had just skidded straight

Thanks for the visit in my dream this morning
You said you weren't gonna save the world no more
You visited my friend at the same time too
As always there's enough to go around of you

Your eyes were clear and you seemed real good
You seemed at peace with wherever you were
I asked if you knew the direction you were headed
