My Back Pages - Bob Dylan

Written by：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 fecundation 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 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 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
