acoustic guitar rock by singer and songwriter ben bruce

honest songs, honestly sung

This hand-drawn image is inspired by Letter to a Young Poet, written by William Carlos Williams, in which he describes how all our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.

IANTYTIA

I’m not dirty
not uncouth
I’m not mean
and not cruel
You say I’m strange
and I don’t understand…

I ain’t nothing that you think I am…

I may see lightning
but I got no rod
I like Jesus
don’t believe in God
You say that’s strange
and you don’t understand…

I ain’t nothing that you think I am…

I’m not sacred
nor am I a fool
recognizing Nature
knowing I ain’t cool
You say I’m strange
‘cause I give a damn

I ain’t nothing that you think I am…
