Karaoké My Back Pages (live) Bob Dylan

Crimson flames tied through my ears

Rollin' high and mighty trap

Countless fire flamin' roads

Usin' ideas as my map

We'll meet on edges soon said I

Proud 'neath heated brow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth

Rip down all hate

I screamed

Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull

I dreamed

Romantic facts of musketeers

Foundationed deep somehow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

Girls' faces formed the forward path

Phony jealousy

To memorizin' politics of ancient history

Flung down by corpse evangelists

Un-thought of though somehow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

Self-ordained professor's tongue

Too serious to fool

Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school

Equality

I spoke the word as if a weddin' vow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance

I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach

Fearin' not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach

My existence led by confusion boats

Mutiny from stern to bow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

Yes my guard stood hard when abstract threats

Too noble to neglect

Deceived me into thinkin' I had somethin' to protect

Good and bad

I define these terms

Quite clear

No doubt somehow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now
