It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (Live)

Текст песни Bob Dylan - It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (Live)

Thank you very much
This is called "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand, you know too soon that there is no sense in trying

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fools gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words proves to warn
He not busy being born is busy dying

Temptation's page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
Feel the moan but unlike before
You discover that you'd just be one more person crying

So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing

Some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
Others say don't hate nothing at all except the hatred

Disillusioned words are like a bullets bark
Human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
And goodness hides behind its gates
Even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked

The rules of the road have been lodged
It's people's games that you got to dodge
It's alright, Ma, I can make it

Advertising signs they con
Con you into thinking that you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on all around you

You lose yourself and they you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your ears to hear that somebody thinks they really have found you

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit
To satisfy ensure you not to quit
Keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it you belong to

The masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to

Old lady judges, watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes must get lonely

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
And false goals, I scoff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say, "Alright, I have had enough
What else can you show me?"

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only

Thank you
Wanna say hello to Don Devito tonight
Came all the way to see us from Madrid
Don understand I think about it
Well, I guess he doesn't understand that
I'll leave you with this here song and its message
Alright, there you are
