I ain't lookin' to block you up,
Shock or knock or lock you up,
Analyze you, categorize you,
Finalize you or advertise you.
Bob Dylan
All I Really Want To Do |
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
Blowin' in the Wind |
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
Blowin' in the Wind |
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
Blowin' in the Wind |
Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting
'Which Side Are You On?'
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers.
Bob Dylan
Desolation Row |
They're selling postcards of the hanging.
Bob Dylan
Desolation Row |
'There must be some way out of here,' said the joker to the
thief,
'There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.'
Bob Dylan
All Along the Watchtower |
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right.
Bob Dylan
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right |
The motorcycle black madonna
Two-wheeled gypsy queen.
Bob Dylan
Gates of Eden |
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords, in the hands of young children
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a gonna fall.
Bob Dylan
A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall |
