Bob Dylan - My Back Pages Lyrics
My back pagesCrimson flames tied through my earsRollin high and mighty trapsPounced with fire on flaming roadsUsing ideas as my mapsWell meet on edges, soon, said iProud neath heated brow.Ah, but I was so much older then,m younger than that now.Half-wracked prejudice leaped forthRip down all hate, I screamedLies that life is black and whiteSpoke from my skull. I dreamedRomantic facts of musketeersFoundationed deep, somehow.Ah, but I was so much older then,Im younger than that now.Girls faces formed the forward pathFrom phony jealousyTo memorizing politicsOf ancient historyFlung down by corpse evangelistsUnthought of, though, somehow.Ah, but I was so much older then,Im younger than that now.A self-ordained professors tongueToo serious to foolSpouted out that libertyIs just equality in schoolEquality, I spoke the wordAs if a wedding vow.Ah, but I was so much older then,Im younger than that now.In a soldiers stance, I aimed my handAt the mongrel dogs who teachFearing not that Id become my enemyIn the instant that I preachMy existence led by confusion boatsMutiny from stern to bow.Ah, but I was so much older then,Im younger than that now.Yes, my 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, somehow.Ah, but I was so much older then,Im younger than that now.
