He danced
Though you wouldn’t know it
He sang with doves
Then rocked so he wouldn’t blow it
When many had named him
The Boss
Others found royalty
Far from being
Even with a coin toss
there was
true loyalty
Performed for the masses
Colleges even taught classes
Although one did it in the dark
Punks wore heels in the park
I know some things in life
may not make sense
One thing’s for sure
You can always rely on
Springsteen and Prince
One was better known
as the working man’s man
Who could deny
being a fan
The other gave more than
his share of flair
With a twist and
pull of his slick, coiffed hair
Women fell at his feet
They all played dress up
just to meet
With a guitar in hand
They controlled the band
Became more than
a household name
in spite of all
the talent and the fame
I know some things in life
may not make sense
One thing’s for sure
You can always rely on
Springsteen and Prince
First to win a
major award
First to be blamed
for praising the good Lord
Slave written on his face
Brought shame and some disgrace
Green eyes chin with a cleft
Made it to MTV
Paved the way so
they could be free
Made it to the
Oscar party
Because of Philadelphia
had more than Bacardi
The Glory Days
had just begun
while girls kept wanting to
have fun
Chilling singing ballads
They came running
after salads
Famous for making the
Horn blow
One listen and
they all would know
I know some things in life
may not make sense
One thing’s for sure
You can always rely on
Springsteen and Prince
