[ti:Its all right ma,Im just bleeding]
[ar:Bob Dylon]
[al:]
[00:11.98]Darkness at the break of noon
[00:13.66]Shadows even the silver spoon
[00:15.53]The handmade blade, the childs balloon
[00:18.14]Eclipses both the sun and moon
[00:19.82]To understand you know too soon
[00:21.32]There is no sense in trying.
[00:23.93]Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
[00:34.94]Suicide remarks are torn
[00:36.81]From the fools gold mouthpiece
[00:38.86]The hollow horn plays wasted words
[00:40.54]Proves to warn
[00:41.85]That he not busy being born
[00:43.72]Is busy dying.
[00:54.14]Temptations page flies out the door
[00:57.20]You follow, find yourself at war
[00:59.06]Watch waterfalls of pity roar
[01:01.12]You feel to moan but unlike before
[01:03.54]You discoverThat youd just beOne more person crying.
[01:12.81]So dont fear if you hear
[01:17.17]A foreign sound to your ear
[01:21.46]Its alright, Ma, Im only sighing.
[01:41.86]As some warn victory, some downfall
[01:46.29]Private reasons great or small
[01:48.16]Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
[01:50.40]To make all that should be killed to crawl
[01:52.26]While others say dont hate nothing at all
[01:54.32]Except hatred.
[02:02.25]Disillusioned words like bullets bark
[02:06.12]As human gods aim for their mark
[02:08.36]Made everything from toy guns that spark
[02:10.60]To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
[02:12.84]Its easy to see without looking too far
[02:15.08]That not muchIs really sacred.
[02:25.65]While preachers preach of evil fates
[02:28.33]Teachers teach that knowledge waits
[02:30.38]Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
[02:32.44]Goodness hides behind its gates
[02:34.49]But even the president of the United StatesSometimes must haveTo stand naked.
[02:45.56]An though the rules of the road have been lodged
[02:51.10]Its only peoples games that you got to dodge
[02:55.96]And its alright, Ma, I can make it.
[03:10.52]Advertising signs that con you
[03:12.94]Into thinking youre the oneThat can do whats never been done
[03:16.49]That can win whats never been won
[03:18.54]Meantime life outside goes onAll around you.
[03:29.93]You lose yourself, you reappear
[03:31.61]You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
[03:34.04]Alone you stand with nobody near
[03:36.09]When a trembling distant voice, unclear
[03:37.70]Startles your sleeping ears to hear
[03:40.20]That somebody thinksThey really found you.
[03:51.52]A question in your nerves is lit
[03:54.20]Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
[03:57.18]Insure you not to quitTo keep it in your mind and not fergit
[04:00.17]That it is not he or she or them or it
[04:02.41]That you belong to.
[04:09.18]Although the masters make the rules
[04:14.54]For the wise men and the fools
[04:19.02]I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.
[04:38.00]For them that must obey authority
[04:41.24]That they do not respect in any degree
[04:43.29]Who despise their jobs, their destinies
[04:45.72]Speak jealously of them that are free
[04:47.58]Cultivate their flowers to beNothing more than somethingThey invest in.
[04:57.41]While some on principles baptized
[05:00.46]To strict party platform ties
[05:02.70]Social clubs in drag disguise
[05:04.38]Outsiders they can freely criticize
[05:06.81]Tell nothing except who to idolize
[05:08.86]And then say God bless him.
[05:18.76]While one who sings with his tongue on fire
[05:21.00]Gargles in the rat race choir
[05:22.94]Bent out of shape from societys pliers
[05:25.37]Cares not to come up any higher
[05:27.42]But rather get you down in the holeThat hes in.
[05:34.62]But I mean no harm nor put fault
[05:40.30]On anyone that lives in a vault
[05:44.78]But its alright, Ma, if I cant please him.
[06:04.01]Old lady judges watch people in pairs
[06:06.25]Limited in sex, they dareTo push fake morals, insult and stare
[06:10.54]While money doesnt talk, it swears
[06:12.68]Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony.
[06:25.12]While them that defend what they cannot see
[06:28.73]With a killers pride, securityIt blows the minds most bitterly
[06:33.02]For them that think deaths honesty
[06:35.26]Wont fall upon them naturallyLife sometimesMust get lonely.
[06:46.50]My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
[06:50.24]False gods, I scuffAt pettiness which plays so rough
[06:53.60]Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
[06:56.02]Kick my legs to crash it off
[06:57.89]Say okay, I have had enough
[06:59.57]What else can you show me?
[07:06.52]And if my thought-dreams could be seen
[07:09.88]Theyd probably put my head in a guillotine
[07:14.54]But its alright, Ma, its life, and life only
