Time Rag - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

Ripping along towards middle age[00:00:17]

And my music career kind of missed a page[00:00:19]

Record sales began to drop[00:00:21]

The management all began to hop[00:00:23]

Not worry they said you'll see[00:00:26]

What you need is some fresh publicity[00:00:28]

Just give us a nod and we'll all leap[00:00:30]

Towards putting you back at the top of the heap[00:00:32]

I said Fine I'll give it a whack[00:00:38]

I hung up the phone and I turned my back[00:00:40]

Began daydreaming I was somebody else[00:00:42]

When the phone jumped over from the wall to the shelf[00:00:44]

We just had a break this is really fine[00:00:46]

We can make the January issue of TIME[00:00:48]

If you'll give us Monday a week from today[00:00:51]

From two to four now what do you say[00:00:53]

I said TIME TIME mag mag[00:00:56]

You got me on the rag rag[00:01:01]

Take your insults about the queen[00:01:05]

And shove them up your royal Timese machine[00:01:09]

But I scribbled it down on the wall calendar[00:01:21]

And wondered about my interviewer[00:01:24]

Maybe he'd be just a real nice guy[00:01:26]

Bright and sympathetic with a roving eye[00:01:28]

We'd forget all about the assignment due[00:01:30]

Formalities photos and the interview[00:01:32]

We'd hop on into his big rent-a-car[00:01:34]

Go for a lovely drive not far maybe France[00:01:36]

As the big day approached it slipped my mind[00:01:42]

Till my secretary showed up at the house to remind[00:01:44]

Me to switch into gear for the big coup de gras[00:01:46]

The meeting with the man from the media[00:01:49]

I swept the driveway and polished the phone[00:01:51]

Put on a Kenzo knit in two-tone[00:01:53]

Fluffed the pillows in the burgundy chair[00:01:55]

Made up my eyes and brushed my hair all in that order[00:01:57]

When he called to say he was three hours late[00:02:03]

My cheerful facade began to disintegrate[00:02:05]

The photographer'd be even later still[00:02:07]

She was hopelessly lost in the nearby hills[00:02:09]

He arrived not exactly the man of my dreams[00:02:12]

Not bad for a rep from the Timese machine[00:02:14]

Asked me a wandering question or three[00:02:16]

And I thought he was actually listening to me[00:02:18]

And I said TIME TIME mag mag[00:02:21]

You got me on the rag rag[00:02:26]

Take your insults about the queen[00:02:30]

And shove them up your royal Timese machine[00:02:34]

Curious about his interest[00:02:47]

I babbled my way through the worldwide list[00:02:49]

Ireland Chile and the African states[00:02:51]

Poetry politics and how they relate[00:02:53]

Motherhood music and Moog synthesizers[00:02:55]

Political prisoners and Commie sympathizers[00:02:57]

Hetero homo and bisexuality[00:02:59]

Where they all stand in the nineteen-seventies[00:03:01]

Then suddenly it stopped and he started to lobby[00:03:08]

Said Tell me some inside stuff about Bobby[00:03:10]

Bobby who I smiled and said[00:03:12]

And the TIME man's face was laced with red[00:03:13]

I know you guys used to know each other[00:03:16]

I know you refer to him as being your brother[00:03:18]

And I know that you know where he's coming from[00:03:20]

I said You know alot for being so Goddamned dumb[00:03:22]

And I said TIME TIME mag mag[00:03:28]

You got me on the rag rag[00:03:32]

Take your insults about the queen[00:03:36]

And shove them up your royal Timese machine[00:03:40]

Well I never gave him quite what he came for[00:03:49]

The inside story and it's really a shame[00:03:51]

For I never made the January issue of TIME[00:03:53]

And just before I run out of words that rhyme[00:03:55]

I really should tell you that deep in my heart[00:03:57]

I don't give a damn where I stand on the charts[00:03:59]

Not as long as the sun sinks into the west[00:04:01]

And that's going to be a pretty serious test of time[00:04:04]

TIME TIME mag mag[00:04:08]

You got me on the rag rag[00:04:12]

Take your insults about the queen[00:04:16]

And shove them up your royal Timese machine[00:04:20]

And I said TIME TIME mag mag[00:04:28]

You got me on the rag rag[00:04:33]

Take your insults about the queen[00:04:36]

And shove them up your royal Timese machine[00:04:41]

Ok follow this is rap[00:04:58]
