Bài hát Medley: My Back Pages/B.J. Blues/Baby What You Want Me To Do Báo Lỗi

Written by Bob Dylan


Crimson flames tied through my years

Rollin high and mighty trapped

Countless violent flaming roads

Using 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 flanks of musketeers

Foundationed deep, somehow

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 I'd become my enemy

In the instant that I preach

Sisters fled by confusion boats

Mutiny from stern to bow

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now


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
