Bruce Springsteen Lyric Generator

I love Bruce as much as anyone. Easily my favorite musician of all time. Nevertheless, I've begun to notice a certain pattern in some of his songs...

(Johnny, Ralph, Mary, Cletus) went down to the (union hall, casino, dive bar, cockfight)

His Pa was a (janitor, mechanic, waste management consultant, Brett Favre) who loved only (whiskey, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Robotussin)

Now mister he ain’t got no (job, girl, pancreas, hope) but he still soldiers on

Workin’ at the (car wash, 1950s General Motors Factory, Bio-Dome)


I worked hard girl, but I got debts no honest man could pay

Cuz I done (gambled,got laid off , used a 30:1 leverage ratio)

Now down on the (shipyard, shotgun farm, turd mine) me and pete gonna get out someday

Man I picked the wrong week to quit (drinking, smoking, sniffing glue, methamphetamines)


There’s something happenin’ somewhere

And this (small town, decaying city, Bio-Dome) just ain’t where its at

Got into my (’69 Chevy, Camaro, Americamobile) and went out for a drive

And mister I ain’t ever comin’ back.
