It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)-Bob Dylan/The Band

[00:00.000] 作词 : Dylan [00:12.91]Darkness at the break of noon [00:14.68]Shadows even the silver spoon [00:16.75]The handmade blade, the child's balloon [00:18.99]Eclipses both the sun and moon [00:21.16]To understand you know too soon [00:23.07]There is no sense in trying. [00:25.29] [00:33.86]Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn [00:36.04]Suicide remarks are torn [00:38.03]From the fool's gold mouthpiece [00:39.88]The hollow horn plays wasted words [00:42.02]Proves to warn [00:43.10]That he not busy being born [00:44.98]Is busy dying. [00:46.46] [00:56.08]Temptation's page flies out the door [00:58.14]You follow, find yourself at war [01:00.13]Watch waterfalls of pity roar [01:02.35]You feel to moan but unlike before [01:04.77]You discover [01:05.11]That you'd just be [01:06.14]One more person crying. [01:08.09] [01:14.75]So don't fear if you hear [01:18.80]A foreign sound to your ear [01:23.20]It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing. [01:28.70] [01:44.53]As some warn victory, some downfall [01:47.19]Private reasons great or small [01:49.18]Can be seen in the eyes of those that call [01:51.24]To make all that should be killed to crawl [01:53.29]While others say don't hate nothing at all [01:55.49]Except hatred. [01:57.03] [02:04.82]Disillusioned words like bullets bark [02:07.17]As human gods aim for their mark [02:09.26]Made everything from toy guns that spark [02:11.62]To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark [02:13.99]It's easy to see without looking too far [02:16.22]That not much [02:16.67]Is really sacred. [02:18.21] [02:26.89]While preachers preach of evil fates [02:29.19]Teachers teach that knowledge waits [02:31.46]Can lead to hundred-dollar plates [02:33.37]Goodness hides behind its gates [02:35.67]But even the president of the United States [02:38.06]Sometimes must have [02:39.23]To stand naked. [02:40.40] [02:48.51]An' though the rules of the road have been lodged [02:52.79]It's only people's games that you got to dodge [02:58.22]And it's alright, Ma, I can make it. [03:03.04] [03:10.92]Advertising signs that con you [03:13.76]Into thinking you're the one [03:15.34]That can do what's never been done [03:17.49]That can win what's never been won [03:19.54]Meantime life outside goes on [03:21.42]All around you. [03:22.71] [03:30.79]You lose yourself, you reappear [03:32.64]You suddenly find you got nothing to fear [03:35.00]Alone you stand with nobody near [03:37.17]When a trembling distant voice, unclear [03:39.38]Startles your sleeping ears to hear [03:41.25]That somebody thinks [03:42.54]They really found you. [03:43.86] [03:53.22]A question in your nerves is lit [03:55.12]Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy [03:57.94]Insure you not to quit [03:59.39]To keep it in your mind and not fergit [04:01.19]That it is not he or she or them or it [04:03.45]That you belong to. [04:04.89] [04:12.01]Although the masters make the rules [04:16.06]For the wise men and the fools [04:20.63]I got nothing, Ma, to live up to. [04:25.88] [04:39.75]For them that must obey authority [04:41.95]That they do not respect in any degree [04:44.22]Who despise their jobs, their destinies [04:46.60]Speak jealously of them that are free [04:48.65]Cultivate their flowers to be [04:50.97]Nothing more than something [04:51.79]They invest in. [04:53.08] [04:59.29]While some on principles baptized [05:01.42]To strict party platform ties [05:03.62]Social clubs in drag disguise [05:05.70]Outsiders they can freely criticize [05:07.84]Tell nothing except who to idolize [05:09.94]And then say God bless him. [05:11.50] [05:19.65]While one who sings with his tongue on fire [05:21.96]Gargles in the rat race choir [05:24.07]Bent out of shape from society's pliers [05:26.27]Cares not to come up any higher [05:28.45]But rather get you down in the hole [05:30.12]That he's in. [05:31.36] [05:38.11]But I mean no harm nor put fault [05:42.12]On anyone that lives in a vault [05:46.48]But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him. [05:51.84] [06:04.88]Old lady judges watch people in pairs [06:07.24]Limited in ***, they dare [06:09.16]To push fake morals, insult and stare [06:11.52]While money doesn't talk, it swears [06:13.36]Obscenity, who really cares [06:15.47]Propaganda, all is phony. [06:17.54] [06:27.20]While them that defend what they cannot see [06:29.45]With a killer's pride, security [06:31.80]It blows the minds most bitterly [06:33.86]For them that think death's honesty [06:36.03]Won't fall upon them naturally [06:38.00]Life sometimes [06:39.00]Must get lonely. [06:40.38] [06:47.62]My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards [06:50.87]False gods, I scuff [06:52.59]At pettiness which plays so rough [06:54.46]Walk upside-down inside handcuffs [06:56.85]Kick my legs to crash it off [06:58.74]Say okay, I have had enough [07:00.49]What else can you show me? [07:02.30] [07:07.63]And if my thought-dreams could be seen [07:11.58]They'd probably put my head in a guillotine [07:16.37]But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only. [07:22.78]
