It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan[00:00:02]
Darkness at the break of noon[00:00:13]
Shadows even the silver spoon[00:00:20]
The handmade blade the child's balloon[00:00:22]
Eclipses both the sun and moon[00:00:25]
To understand you know too soon[00:00:27]
There is no sense in trying[00:00:29]
Pointed threats they bluff with scorn[00:00:31]
Suicide remarks are torn[00:00:42]
From the fool's gold mouthpiece The hollow horn plays wasted words[00:00:44]
Proves to warn That he not busy being born Is busy dying[00:00:48]
Temptation's page flies out the door You follow find yourself at war[00:00:53]
Watch waterfalls of pity roar[00:01:02]
You feel to moan but unlike before[00:01:04]
You discover That you'd just be One more person crying[00:01:06]
So don't fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear[00:01:10]
It's alright Ma I'm only sighing[00:01:24]
As some warn victory some downfall[00:01:30]
Private reasons great or small[00:01:40]
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call[00:01:43]
To make all that should be killed to crawl[00:01:45]
While others say don't hate nothing at all Except hatred[00:01:48]
Disillusioned words like bullets bark[00:01:51]
As human gods aim for their mark[00:01:58]
Made everything from toy guns that spark[00:02:01]
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark[00:02:03]
It's easy to see without looking too far[00:02:06]
That not much Is really sacred[00:02:08]
While preachers preach of evil fates[00:02:09]
Teachers teach that knowledge waits[00:02:20]
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates[00:02:22]
Goodness hides behind its gates[00:02:24]
But even the president of the Unite States[00:02:26]
Sometimes must have To stand naked[00:02:29]
An' though the rules of the road have been lodged[00:02:31]
It's only people's games that you got to dodge[00:02:39]
And it's alright Ma I can make it[00:02:45]
Advertising signs that con you[00:02:51]
Into thinking you're the one[00:03:02]
That can do what's never been done[00:03:03]
That can win what's never been won[00:03:06]
Meantime life outside goes on All around you.[00:03:08]
You lose yourself you reappear[00:03:11]
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear[00:03:19]
Alone you stand with nobody near[00:03:21]
When a trembling distant voice unclear[00:03:23]
Startles your sleeping ears to hear[00:03:26]
That somebody thinks They really found you[00:03:28]
A question in your nerves is lit[00:03:30]
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy[00:03:40]
Insure you not to quit[00:03:43]
To keep it in your mind and not fergit[00:03:45]
That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to[00:03:47]
Although the masters make the rules[00:03:51]
For the wise men and the fools[00:04:01]
I got nothing Ma, to live up to[00:04:05]
Old lady judges watch people in pairs[00:04:12]
Limited in sex they dare To push fake morals insult and stare[00:04:23]
While money doesn't talk it swears[00:04:27]
Obscenity who really cares[00:04:29]
Propaganda all is phony[00:04:31]
While them that defend what they cannot see[00:04:33]
With a killer's pride security[00:04:41]
It blows the minds most bitterly[00:04:42]
For them that think death's honesty[00:04:45]
Won't fall upon them naturally[00:04:47]
Life sometimes Must get lonely[00:04:49]
My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards[00:04:51]
False gods I scuff At pettiness which plays so rough[00:05:02]
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs[00:05:06]
Kick my legs to crash it off[00:05:08]
Say okay, I have had enough[00:05:11]
What else can you show me[00:05:13]
And if my thought-dreams could be seen[00:05:15]
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine[00:05:26]
But it's alright Ma it's life and life only[00:05:30]
