[00:00.00]It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding Album Version) - Bob Dylan
[00:39.63]Darkness at the break of noon
[00:41.56]Shadows even the silver spoon
[00:43.48]The handmade blade the child's balloon
[00:45.90]Eclipses both the sun and moon
[00:47.60]To understand you know too soon
[00:49.66]There is no sense in trying
[00:59.01]Pointed threats they bluff with scorn
[01:00.79]Suicide remarks are torn
[01:02.50]From the fool's gold mouthpiece
[01:04.78]The hollow horn plays wasted words
[01:05.81]Proves to warn
[01:06.95]That he not busy being born
[01:08.19]Is busy dying
[01:15.69]Temptation's page flies out the door
[01:17.63]You follow find yourself at war
[01:19.80]Watch waterfalls of pity roar
[01:21.88]You feel to moan but unlike before
[01:23.58]You discover
[01:24.04]That you'd just be
[01:25.26]One more person crying
[01:33.55]So don't fear if you hear
[01:37.70]A foreign sound to your ear
[01:41.85]It's alright ma i'm only sighing
[01:52.34]As some warn victory some downfall
[01:54.46]Private reasons great or small
[01:56.00]Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
[01:58.38]To make all that should be killed to crawl
[02:00.13]While others say don't hate nothing at all
[02:01.91]Except hatred
[02:08.80]Disillusioned words like bullets bark
[02:11.12]As human gods aim for their mark
[02:12.95]Made everything from toy guns that spark
[02:14.72]To flesh-colored christs that glow in the dark
[02:16.73]It's easy to see without looking too far
[02:18.49]That not much
[02:19.25]Is really sacred
[02:27.61]While preachers preach of evil fates
[02:29.73]Teachers teach that knowledge waits
[02:31.42]Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
[02:33.36]Goodness hides behind it's gates
[02:35.09]But even the president of the united states
[02:36.90]Sometimes must have
[02:37.69]To stand naked
[02:45.68]An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
[02:49.21]It's only people's games that you got to dodge
[02:53.75]And it's alright ma i can make it
[03:04.26]Advertising signs that con you
[03:06.22]Into thinking you're the one
[03:08.04]That can do what's never been done
[03:09.74]That can win what's never been won
[03:11.85]Meantime life outside goes on
[03:13.56]All around you
[03:18.49]You lose yourself you reappear
[03:20.83]You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
[03:22.56]Alone you stand with nobody near
[03:24.23]When a trembling distant voice unclear
[03:26.17]Startles your sleeping ears to hear
[03:27.91]That somebody thinks
[03:28.76]They really found you
[03:35.99]A question in your nerves is lit
[03:37.99]Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
[03:40.17]Insure you not to quit
[03:42.05]To keep it in your mind and not fergit
[03:43.90]That it is not he or she or them or it
[03:45.77]That you belong to
[03:52.46]Although the masters make the rules
[03:56.18]For the wise men and the fools
[04:00.66]I got nothing ma to live up to
[04:11.83]Old lady judges watch people in pairs
[04:14.21]Limited in sex they dare
[04:16.03]To push fake morals insult and stare
[04:17.95]While money doesn't talk it swears
[04:19.90]Obscenity who really cares propaganda all is phony
[04:29.93]While them that defend what they cannot see
[04:31.60]With a killer's pride security
[04:33.52]It blows the minds most bitterly
[04:35.64]For them that think death's honesty
[04:37.21]Won't fall upon them naturally
[04:39.16]Life sometimes
[04:40.06]Must get lonely
[04:47.34]My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
[04:50.03]False gods i scuff
[04:51.16]At pettiness which plays so rough
[04:53.16]Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
[04:55.27]Kick my legs to crash it off
[04:57.12]Say okay i have had enough
[04:59.02]What else can you show me
[05:07.37]And if my thought-dreams could be seen
[05:11.05]They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
[05:15.86]But it's alright ma it's life and life only
