my back pages - america lyrics

Loading...

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-racked 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 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

my guard stood hard when abstract threats
too n-ble 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

i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
