| Vocal：John Linnell | |
| I saw the best minds of my generation | |
| Destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical | |
| I should be allowed to glue my poster | |
| I should be allowed to think | |
| 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 grey utility pole | |
| I saw the worst bands of my generation | |
| applied by magic marker to dry wall | |
| I should be allowed to shoot my mouth off | |
| I should have a call in show | |
| 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 grey utility pole | |
| I am not allowed | |
| To ever come up with a single original thought | |
| I am not allowed | |
| To meet the criminal government agent who oppresses me | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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) | |
| I am not allowed to think (I am not allowed to think) | |
| Notes | |
| The Dial-a-Song version of this song simply ends about halfway through. |
