◉ Roger McGuinn
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.
《Chorus》
Ah , but I was so much older then ,
I'm younger than that now.
◉ Tom Petty
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamd
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep , somehow.
《Chorus》
◉ Neil Young
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of , though , somehow.
《Chorus》
◉ Eric Clapton
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
《Chorus》
◉ Bob Dylan
In a Soldire's stance , I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
《Chorus》
◉ George Harrison
Yes , my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad , I define these terms
Quite clear , no doubt , somehow.
《Chorus》
