[Intro]
I saw Yoko Ono in Chicago and everybody booed
I watched an Elvis impersonator play to a packed-out room
I wasn’t dumb, but I was young
[Verse 1]
I walked through doors already opened all across the south
I walked through one in San Francisco, a sucker to the mouth
I wasn't dumb, but I was young
[Chorus]
And what am I trying to prove?
Taking a picture in front of the Louvre
I read Philip Roth and Vonnegut too
Taking a picture in front of the Louvre
[Verse 2]
Cat-calling on the freeway in the traffic, moving past
Faked a smile, gave a soft wave, it all happened so fast
I wasn't dumb, but I was young
[Chorus]
And what am I trying to prove?
Taking a picture in front of the Louvre
I read Philip Roth and Vonnegut too
Taking a picture in front of the Louvre
[Bridge]
The mеn are being men, womеn are learning
I am Dylan, I am Steinbeck, I am yearning
The men are being men, women are learning
I am Dylan, I am Steinbeck, I'm on purpose
I'm on purpose
I'm on purpose
I'm on fire
Let me burn it
Let me burn it
[Instrumental Outro]
