Bob Dylan | Oh Mercy

 

 

 

Some may believe that
I hate anything American,
its not true how can I,
when America gave us Bob Dylan.

Folk or rock,
I don’t mind what style of music he plays.
To me his music is just the pin cushion
in which he embeds his words.

 

What Good Am I – Bob Dylan


What good am I if I’m like all the rest,
If I just turned away, when I see how you’re dressed,
If I shut myself off so I can’t hear you cry,
What good am I?

What good am I if I know and don’t do,
If I see and don’t say, if I look right through you,
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin’ sky,
What good am I?

What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep,
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don’t try,
What good am I?

What good am I then to others and me
If I’ve had every chance and yet still fail to see

If my hands tied must I not wonder within
Who tied them and why and where must I have been

What good am I if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back while you silently die,
What good am I?

From his album: Oh Mercy: Released September 1989
