Coversong originally made famous by Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul and Mary.
Written by Bob Dylan
G C G
How many roads must a man walk down
C D
Before you call him a man?
G C G
Yes, n' how many seas must a white dove sail
C D
Before she sleeps in the sand?
G C G
Yes, n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
C D
Before they're forever banned?
C D G Em
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
C D G
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
LYRICS
So, you think things are going well
Then you miss a beat
So, you think things are going swell
You’d better turn down the heat
At the crossroads to hell
You rendezvous with the angel that fell
Now, it’s getting too hot
About to learn why not
Turn down the heat
Surprising the temperature’s rising
You’d better turn down the heat
Now, you’re breaking a sweat on your brow
You’d better turn down the heat
Is it hard to tell
You’re at the crossroads to hell
Tell an archangel that fell
I’m not about to retreat
Turn down the heat
Now, it’s time to lay me to sleep
You’d better turn down the heat
Is there a chance my soul I’ll keep
You’d better turn down the heat
Does the bell toll for thee
Or is it ringing for me
In my prayer I plea
Lord, please save me
Turn down the heat
LYRICS
Fixin’ the hands with duct tape
Whatever it will take
The sands of time
Are slipping through
My butter fingers
The thought lingers
I’m
Due
I’m
Fixin’ the hands of time
Not sure
If anyone understands
LYRICS
Get a glimpse
Of the apocalypse
Through the cracks appearing
We could be leering
Through the cracks appearing
We could be peeping
Through the holes opening
We could be peering
Get a glimpse
Of the apocalypse
A two headed snake is ready to strike
Into itself it’s going to bite
How much venom can it take
To drain the life out of wealth
Get a glimpse
Of the apocalypse
Easier to pass through the eye-of-a-needle
Is heaven an option… even at all?
LYRICS
Are you asking me about eschatology?
I’m cryin’
Its’ about time
For divine
Intervention
Due to lack of prevention
Divine intervention
Are you asking me
About eschatology?
Save me, Lord, save me
What message to send
The end of the beginning
The beginning of the end
Pray you start over again
Who knew
You’d get to start anew
If you’ve an alternative
Please do
Are you asking me about eschatology?
When it comes to the future
Are you sure
You can see
The End Of Times
At that time… there will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then…. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
LYRICS
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Be a shining star
Shining from above
Shine like the stars
With the love that is ours
Please grant me some wisdom
Bring on the Kingdom
That shines like the brightness
(Brightness) Of the heavens
Like the stars for ever and ever
Love is our endeavor
The playing field evens
When you shine, shine, shine
(With the volume of love)
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Shine, shine, shine
A mighty fine shine
The brilliance of the brilliance
Giving love a chance
There’s wisdom in the brilliance
Of the brilliance of brilliance
Singing the virtues of the love dance
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Shine, shine, shine
There’s a lot of space
In the human race
Fill it full of love
Of love, love, love
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine

LYRICS
You better think quick
’cause it’s a trick
Sick, sick, sick
Better think quick
’cause it’s a trick
Not since “Tricky Dick”
Have we seen such a trick (or such a ….)
Pull the wool over our eyes, I’s, eyes, I’s
Better think quick
’cause it’s a trick
A sick, sick, sick trick
While taking the pulse of the nation…. (D.O.A.)
It’s a nay, nay, nay tion
A nay shame nation
Hey, hey, hey
Nay, nay nation
Damnation
Like living in hell
And, well
That won’t be for me
Will it do for you
You better look quick
’cause it’s a trick
You better think quick
‘cuase it’s a trick
When the resident idiot
Is President
We’re in the presence of the End Of Times
Yours and mine
Present in the presence of the End Of Times
Yours and mine
