Nodes Of Ranvier - New York City, 1963 lyrics

We could have had it all in our studio on 4th street Every morning we rose with hope that we could change the world or at least one mind The songs came from Harvard Square and no longer were so rare The poets strummed their strings at the thought of changing things. It started wtih Woodie G and came strong with Bobby D. At night the bearded boys fled and all the lank haired girls came too To converted sandal shops to hear the words They came to hear the words They longed for another cause And when the next day came they took action My beautiful blue collared army With eyes buried in books you never saw it coming The day your cause would come crashing Because soon it went pop But you never asked for San Francisco And all that came with it God get us back to NYC, 1963
