| Maybe the poet is gay | |
| But he'll be heard anyway | |
| Maybe the poet is drugged | |
| But he won't stay under the rug | |
| Maybe the voice of the spirit | |
| In which case you'd better hear it | |
| Maybe he's a woman | |
| Who can touch you where you're human | |
| Male female slave or free | |
| Peaceful or disorderly | |
| Maybe you and he will not agree | |
| But you need him to show you new ways to see | |
| Don't let the system fool you | |
| All it wants to do is rule you | |
| Pay attention to the poet | |
| You need him and you know it | |
| Put him up against the wall | |
| Shoot him up with pentothal | |
| Shoot him up with lead | |
| You won't call back what's been said | |
| Put him in the ground | |
| But one day you'll look around | |
| There'll be a face you don't know | |
| Voicing thoughts you've heard before | |
| Male female slave or free | |
| Peaceful or disorderly | |
| Maybe you and he will not agree | |
| But you need him to show you new ways to see | |
| Don't let the system fool you | |
| All it wants to do is rule you | |
| Pay attention to the poet | |
| You need him and you know it |
