The darkness that occurs during a cataclysmic event such as a nuclear bomb being dropped on a city causing a cloud of radioactive dust that blocks out the sun and moon / "Shadows" casts death upon the “sliver spoon" a person who is part of a dynasty - President Kennedy – (precious metal becomes a symbol for JFK). / The ICBMs made by Russian with a primitive technology that have the tapered outline of a blade and the "child's balloon" Sputnik, the round Russian satellite / are flying through space or in orbit and they block out the sun and moon / and if you understand the imminent danger "There is no sense in trying" sarcastic: it makes no sense to make a disarmament deal with the Russians - the only answer is a pre-emptive strike to disable their nuclear capabilities, VERSE TWO "Pointed threats" a threatening object having a sharp or tapered end, ICBMs pretend to be ready to use against the country and economic system America engages in a false display of confidence or aggression in order to deceive or intimidate a nation the Sovs scorn / "Suicide remarks" speeches that promote the idea of MMD mutual mass destruction to deter the Soviets are torn from the pages of history / From the fool John Kennedy "gold “JFK’s media sympathizers the worthless hollow "horn" a device for projecting sound waves, as in a loudspeaker: the electronic media "plays" broadcasts words that are wasted because they have no effect on the Sovs "Proves" that Barry Goldwater is correct in saying That he not busy" actively or fully engaged; occupied "being born" "born" being native born to a particular country, region, or place. American-born; a nationalist, a patriot, an extreme anti-Communist "Is busy dying" is in reality committing suicide by letting the Communist rule the world. Goldwater, "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!" Get it? VERSE THREE The temptation to launch a pre-emptive strike goes out the window, out the door / You follow the establishment politicians and you find that the Sovs have started another “War of National Liberation” / you go along with this policy when you vote Democratic and you find you are fighting in Vietnam and other countries as a result of weakened anti-Communism and watch the rising tide of sorrow for the dead Americans wounded or killed by the Sovs or their surrogates / You feel to grieve for the death of liberty in Communist controlled countries / but this but this time the Communists have taken over the United States and everyone in America is grieving / sarcastic: you better fear if you hear foreign sound - a Communist ideology in your ear / "It's alright, Ma, I'm just sighing" sarcastic: I feel longing or grief; yearn: sighing for the old America, a land of freedom. VERSE FOUR As some warn that military victory is the only answer to Soviet aggression others warn that political subversion is the only way to cause the downfall of Communism. Private sympathy for Communism, being a party member – great – or being a Comsymp liberal – small can be seen in the thoughts of those who believe Communism must not be killed instead weakened – crawl – while others say forget hating the Sovs and worry about the hatred against Blacks. |

| Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| Look out “nigger” it doesn’t matter what you did but as long as you’re Black we’re coming for you / You better proceed cautiously tippy-toeing around / Don’t snort cocaine No-Doz / Better stay away from those cops that use a fire hose to disperse rioters and Civil Rights demonstrators / Better not commit crime as you are prone to do / watch out for plainclothes infiltrators and snitches [lyric variation “be careful of the plainclothes”] / You Blacks who are going to be lynched aren’t gonna need a weatherman / to tell you in which direction the wind is blowing because your going to be “Blowin’ in the Wind.” | |
| Bob Dylan & the Rolling Thunder Revue – When I Paint My Masterpiece Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| It's about the 30th Birthday Party. “Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble” Al has everyone in New York City focused on my garbage and he brought the rabble to my home for a demonstration against me “Ancient” “ancient footprints” archeological artifacts taken from my garbage “are everywhere” are on everyone’s mind thanks to Al. For me this sounds more like “A. J.’s footprints are everywhere” when Dylan sings it but it really doesn’t matter “You can almost think that you’re seein’ double” you can almost think that there are two of this dude, that’s how much trouble this guy has been causing me “On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs” if you are Bob Dylan the heroin-addict dying to get high but are having a hard time of it due to A. J. Weberman. | |
