It’s all over now, baby blue<\/i> is another one that gets covered a lot.<\/p>\n

Here’s a tune that no one covers: It’s alright, Ma (I’m only bleeding)<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Darkness at the break of noon
\nShadows even the silver spoon
\nThe handmade blade, the child’s balloon
\nEclipses both the sun and moon
\nTo understand you know too soon
\nThere is no sense in trying.<\/p>\n

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
\nSuicide remarks are torn
\nFrom the fool’s gold mouthpiece
\nThe hollow horn plays wasted words
\nProves to warn
\nThat he not busy being born
\nIs busy dying.<\/p>\n

Temptation’s page flies out the door
\nYou follow, find yourself at war
\nWatch waterfalls of pity roar
\nYou feel to moan but unlike before
\nYou discover
\nThat you’d just be
\nOne more person crying.<\/p>\n

So don’t fear if you hear
\nA foreign sound to your ear
\nIt’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing.<\/p>\n

As some warn victory, some downfall
\nPrivate reasons great or small
\nCan be seen in the eyes of those that call
\nTo make all that should be killed to crawl
\nWhile others say don’t hate nothing at all
\nExcept hatred.<\/p>\n

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
\nAs human gods aim for their mark
\nMade everything from toy guns that spark
\nTo flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
\nIt’s easy to see without looking too far
\nThat not much
\nIs really sacred.<\/p>\n

While preachers preach of evil fates
\nTeachers teach that knowledge waits
\nCan lead to hundred-dollar plates
\nGoodness hides behind its gates
\nBut even the president of the United States
\nSometimes must have
\nTo stand naked.<\/p>\n

An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged
\nIt’s only people’s games that you got to dodge
\nAnd it’s alright, Ma, I can make it.<\/p>\n

Advertising signs that con you
\nInto thinking you’re the one
\nThat can do what’s never been done
\nThat can win what’s never been won
\nMeantime life outside goes on
\nAll around you.<\/p>\n

You lose yourself, you reappear
\nYou suddenly find you got nothing to fear
\nAlone you stand with nobody near
\nWhen a trembling distant voice, unclear
\nStartles your sleeping ears to hear
\nThat somebody thinks
\nThey really found you.<\/p>\n

A question in your nerves is lit
\nYet you know Read more<\/a><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
