America - My Back Pages Lyrics
Crimson flames tied through my earsRollin' high and mighty trapsPounced with fire on flaming roadsUsing ideas as my maps"We'll meet on edges, soon," said IProud 'neath heated browAh, but I was so much older thenI'm younger than that nowHalf-racked prejudice leaped forth"Rip down all hate," I screamedLies that life is black and whiteSpoke from my skull, I dreamedRomantic flanks of musketeersFoundationed deep, somehowAh, but I was so much older thenI'm younger than that nowIn a soldier's stance, I aimed my handAt the mongrel dogs who teachFearing that I'd become my enemyIn the instant that I preachMy existence led by confusion boatsMutiny from stern to bowAh, but I was so much older thenI'm younger than that nowMy guard stood hard when abstract threatsToo noble to neglectDeceived me into thinkingI had something to protectGood and bad, I define these termsQuite clear, no doubt, somehowAh, but I was so much older thenI'm younger than that nowI was so much older thenI'm younger than that now
