Steve Earle - My Back Pages слова песни
(Bob Dylan) Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin` high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "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 From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists Unthought of, though, somehow Ah, but I was so much older then I`m younger than that now A 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 wedding 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 Fearing not that I`d become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway 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 thinking I had something 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
