Ode To Dylan written and performed by Annie Calder
											       
WAITED TWO WEEKS TO ACCEPT
TOOK HIS TIME, WHAT YOU’D EXPECT
DYLAN NEVER CARED ABOUT SOME PRIZE
PLAYED COACHELLA PUSHIN’ TUNES
TO DESCENDANTS OF THE BABY BOOM
NOT TOO BAD FOR OVER 75

SPEAKIN' OF GREAT SONGS OF PAST
NOW MUSIC'S FREE BUT IT'S ALL CRAP
CREATIVITY’S A LOSIN’ CAUSE
COME TO THINK, BOB D'S A GOD
ONLY SONGSTER TO GET THE NOD
KINDA MAKES YA STOP, THINK 'N PAUSE

‘CAUSE DYLAN IS AS DYLAN DOES
WHAT THE MATTER, WHAT THE FUSS
THANK YOU, TAKE THE MONEY, SHUT THE DOOR
GUESS THE NOBEL AIN'T SO NOBLE ANYMORE

USED TO BE WE TOOK TO TASK
TALKING HEADS, QUESTIONED FACTS
SEARCHING FOR A PURE 'N SIMPLE TRUTH
USED TO BE WE HAD RESPECT
FOR PRESIDENTS THAT WE'D ELECT
NOW THAT LOGIC'S TOTALLY ASKEW

YEAH, POLITICS DWELLS FAR BELOW 
VIDEO GAMES AND REALITY SHOWS
BOOKS 'N VINYL TOSSED INTO THE FIRE
AND NO ONE READS AND NO ONE WRITES
WE DO WHAT TAKES US THROUGH THE NIGHT
'TIL THE DAY WE DIE OR RETIRE

WHAT WE HAVE IS WHAT WE GET
NO VOTE'S A VOTE, WHAT’D YOU EXPECT
AND PROTESTING WON'T EVEN OUT THE SCORE
'CAUSE THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T GOVERN ANYMORE
------
GLOBAL WARMING, TOXIC WASTE
ENTIRE SPECIES GONE, ERASED
MOTHER NATURE'S BIGGER THAN US ALL
STILL WE FIGHT AND STILL WE BOMB
NOT SURE IF WE'LL BE 'ROUND FOR LONG
LOVED THE RISE BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO FALL

YES, TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' SURE
BUT LET'S NOT FORGET WHO WE WERE
WHEN LOVE AND CARING WERE A WAY OF LIFE
FROM CITIES LARGE TO CREATURES SMALL
LET CHARITY BE OUR FINAL CALL
IF LOVE IS ALL WE NEED, LET'S GET IT RIGHT

NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED
CARELESS IS THE HUMAN RACE
FORGETTING WHO WE'RE DOIN' THIS ALL FOR…
NO HUMANITY'S NOT HUMANE ANYMORE
THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T GOVERN ANYMORE
AND THE NOBEL AIN'T SO NOBLE ANYMORE

Annie Calder
