NYC 1963

The studio on 4th Street was the place they needed to be
Hope & determination was in their minds, that they can change society
They were considered the outcasts outside of their community
Songs being created in Greenwich Village that weren't so rare
Strings being strummed by poets, ideas to influence others
It began with Woodie Guthrie and exploded with Bob Dylan
In the evening, the beatniks and the long haired girls came too
Coffee shops heard their words
And when the next day came they took action
The blue collared army
Their eyes & heads buried in books
No one saw it coming
One day, this cause would crash down
Eventually going pop
No one asked for San Fransisco
That was the beginning of the end
Let's go back to NYC circa 1963
