Sorry about my screenname (it's a neil young thing) I've been looking into this song for awhile so i can play it right. I've researched it a bit and came to find that "town" should be "time" and "sybil" should be "simple" which, if thats right, adds meaning to the whole thing. It's hard to figure the meaning. Seems like it was written 1000 years ago. 2000 years ago Caesars wore laural crowns. Though now we can fly over the mountains of the moon we haven't changed. We're still killing to be cool. Power tripping. Not sowing... more.
