Al Schvitz - Long Time Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember a funny man who used to make us laugh
But the proof of his truth—they cut his life in half
A caustic wit that cut a bit—opinions were too strong
He must have rubbed someone wrong, he's long time gone

[Chorus]
I remember Lenny, long time gone
Long time gone
Long time gone
Long time gone

[Verse 2]
I remember a crucial man—played Strat with his left hand
The tunes he chose of "Golden Rose" and "Castles Made of Sand"
Social ills—his conscience willed a different type of song
Sang about "lead"—click, bang, he's dead—he's long time gone

[Chorus]
I remember Jimi, long time gone
Long time gone
Long time gone
Long time gone

[Verse 3]
I remember an ebony prince, he taught his brothers pride
Said the black man's loss—just another cross on which another prophet has died
Some people wanted them leaderless—a race of hungry pawns
Their solution to his revolution: to make him long time gone
[Bridge]
Though some will object when you suspect
That they cause to affect the cause and effect
You're probably correct when you suspect
That they cause to affect the cause and effect
When you reflect on lives that were checked
Still in retrospect the truth was neglected
Though some will protect the order they pecked
For failing to suspect the cleansing effect
'Til you they reject with a Haitian insect
With AIDS they infect by a bite on the neck
Like the Nazis correct—kill and dissect
The "inferior sect" their race to protect

[Verse 4]
I remember a gentleman who took his cause so far
Said not to be afraid but to parade and be just what you are
Defied the name of guilt and shame, he proved his skeptics wrong
Must have said something wrong, he's long time gone

[Chorus]
I remember Harvey, long time gone
I remember Lenny, long time gone
I remember Jimi, long time gone
I remember Malcolm, long time gone
