Bob Dylan today releases a new album, Tempest, to commemorate and celebrate 50 years of recording. AnElephant bows his head in tribute to the poet of the 20th Century.
The wind has blown, the times a-changed
Lay lady lay is long laid to rest
The Masters of War lie fat in their beds
Still doing what they have always done best
The rain that falls is harder now
The rich take just like a woman
The Masters of War lie fat in their beds
The price of their wealth is counted in humans
The chimes of freedom have been stilled
We learned we are not young forever
The Masters of War lie fat in their beds
With the knowledge they are so clever
They keep on talking of World War III
They keep that old stone rolling
The Masters of War lie fat in their beds
Content with their bank accounts swollen
Is it true we threw it all away
And we are mere pawns in the game
The Masters of War lie fat in their beds
Was all the poet’s love in vain
Mr Tambourine Man plays his songs for me
He thought twice, it’s not all right
The Masters of War lie fat in their beds
Could God be on their side?
