It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan.mp3

[00:00.00] 作词 : Dylan
[00:12.91]Darkness at the break of noon
[00:14.68]Shadows even the silver spoon
[00:16.75]The handmade blade, the child's balloon
[00:18.99]Eclipses both the sun and moon
[00:21.16]To understand you know too soon
[00:23.07]There is no sense in trying.
[00:25.29]
[00:33.86]Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
[00:36.04]Suicide remarks are torn
[00:38.03]From the fool's gold mouthpiece
[00:39.88]The hollow horn plays wasted words
[00:42.02]Proves to warn
[00:43.10]That he not busy being born
[00:44.98]Is busy dying.
[00:46.46]
[00:56.08]Temptation's page flies out the door
[00:58.14]You follow, find yourself at war
[01:00.13]Watch waterfalls of pity roar
[01:02.35]You feel to moan but unlike before
[01:04.77]You discover
[01:05.11]That you'd just be
[01:06.14]One more person crying.
[01:08.09]
[01:14.75]So don't fear if you hear
[01:18.80]A foreign sound to your ear
[01:23.20]It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.
[01:28.70]
[01:44.53]As some warn victory, some downfall
[01:47.19]Private reasons great or small
[01:49.18]Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
[01:51.24]To make all that should be killed to crawl
[01:53.29]While others say don't hate nothing at all
[01:55.49]Except hatred.
[01:57.03]
[02:04.82]Disillusioned words like bullets bark
[02:07.17]As human gods aim for their mark
[02:09.26]Made everything from toy guns that spark
[02:11.62]To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
[02:13.99]It's easy to see without looking too far
[02:16.22]That not much
[02:16.67]Is really sacred.
[02:18.21]
[02:26.89]While preachers preach of evil fates
[02:29.19]Teachers teach that knowledge waits
[02:31.46]Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
[02:33.37]Goodness hides behind its gates
[02:35.67]But even the president of the United States
[02:38.06]Sometimes must have
[02:39.23]To stand naked.
[02:40.40]
[02:48.51]An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
[02:52.79]It's only people's games that you got to dodge
[02:58.22]And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.
[03:03.04]
[03:10.92]Advertising signs that con you
[03:13.76]Into thinking you're the one
[03:15.34]That can do what's never been done
[03:17.49]That can win what's never been won
[03:19.54]Meantime life outside goes on
[03:21.42]All around you.
[03:22.71]
[03:30.79]You lose yourself, you reappear
[03:32.64]You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
[03:35.00]Alone you stand with nobody near
[03:37.17]When a trembling distant voice, unclear
[03:39.38]Startles your sleeping ears to hear
[03:41.25]That somebody thinks
[03:42.54]They really found you.
[03:43.86]
[03:53.22]A question in your nerves is lit
[03:55.12]Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
[03:57.94]Insure you not to quit
[03:59.39]To keep it in your mind and not fergit
[04:01.19]That it is not he or she or them or it
[04:03.45]That you belong to.
[04:04.89]
[04:12.01]Although the masters make the rules
[04:16.06]For the wise men and the fools
[04:20.63]I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.
[04:25.88]
[04:39.75]For them that must obey authority
[04:41.95]That they do not respect in any degree
[04:44.22]Who despise their jobs, their destinies
[04:46.60]Speak jealously of them that are free
[04:48.65]Cultivate their flowers to be
[04:50.97]Nothing more than something
[04:51.79]They invest in.
[04:53.08]
[04:59.29]While some on principles baptized
[05:01.42]To strict party platform ties
[05:03.62]Social clubs in drag disguise
[05:05.70]Outsiders they can freely criticize
[05:07.84]Tell nothing except who to idolize
[05:09.94]And then say God bless him.
[05:11.50]
[05:19.65]While one who sings with his tongue on fire
[05:21.96]Gargles in the rat race choir
[05:24.07]Bent out of shape from society's pliers
[05:26.27]Cares not to come up any higher
[05:28.45]But rather get you down in the hole
[05:30.12]That he's in.
[05:31.36]
[05:38.11]But I mean no harm nor put fault
[05:42.12]On anyone that lives in a vault
[05:46.48]But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
[05:51.84]
[06:04.88]Old lady judges watch people in pairs
[06:07.24]Limited in ***, they dare
[06:09.16]To push fake morals, insult and stare
[06:11.52]While money doesn't talk, it swears
[06:13.36]Obscenity, who really cares
[06:15.47]Propaganda, all is phony.
[06:17.54]
[06:27.20]While them that defend what they cannot see
[06:29.45]With a killer's pride, security
[06:31.80]It blows the minds most bitterly
[06:33.86]For them that think death's honesty
[06:36.03]Won't fall upon them naturally
[06:38.00]Life sometimes
[06:39.00]Must get lonely.
[06:40.38]
[06:47.62]My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
[06:50.87]False gods, I scuff
[06:52.59]At pettiness which plays so rough
[06:54.46]Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
[06:56.85]Kick my legs to crash it off
[06:58.74]Say okay, I have had enough
[07:00.49]What else can you show me?
[07:02.30]
[07:07.63]And if my thought-dreams could be seen
[07:11.58]They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
[07:16.37]But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.
[07:22.78]
