The Beatnik by Beatnik Scat Lyrics

Park bench in Denver, frigid cold night
Been begging for change from those who pass me by
They turn away, dirty homeless rat
Talking to myself in a beatnik scat

Wasn’t always like this
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Ten years in a suit and tie
Didn’t wanna be a corporate slave

Got a bad rep out on the streets
They all know not to fuck with me
Don’t mess around, don’t take no shit
Don’t got a name, they call me the Beatnik

No possessions, just my clothes
Ain’t got a dime to my name
Steal what I need, live carefree
Cast aside by a bunch of fakes

No problems to call my own
Take it easy, take it slow
Getting drunk, getting lit
Classic fuck up, they call me the Beatnik
I left that bullshit life behind
Was looking for something that I couldn’t find
I’m a crazy drunken lunatic
Psychotic outcast, I’m the Beatnik
