The Times are a'Changin' but They Ain't Changed Yet
Something Different
Fire in the streets, blood on the ground Voices are shouting, but they don’t make a sound Revolution in the air, bones on the ground Someone’s going to die before the sun sets The times are a’changin’ but they ain’t changed yet Stones are a’flyin’, eyes are wellin’ up The truth is obscured in its cold bitter cup Masks go a’marchin’, everyone has had enough The side that always wins might win again, don’t hedge no bets The times are a’changin’ but they ain’t changed yet I see Juan’s dead body in the street as I go stalkin’ I step above Maria’s dead eyes as I go by walkin’ Trying not to stain my shoes on the blood they’re a'coughin’ The wind is dry, but the streets run like a red river wet The times are a'changin’ but they ain’t changed yet Look in your mirror, the change must start with you I’ve seen your pictures of destruction and of the bottle service too I’ve seen those bloody depictions and the quotes of prophets you never knew What you can enjoy today, you can grow to regret The times are a’changin’ but they ain’t changed yet I looked westward and I looked east, it was too dark to see I saw a bird swoop down, fly away, and I realized nothing’s free I was someone else ‘til I decided to be me Everybody’s cryin’ or they’re buried as deep as they can get The times are a changin’ but they ain’t changed…
