How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.

1. Everything you ever wanted to know can be found in rock 'n roll |

Someone needs to create a comp of all the old war protest songs and sell it for the benefit of Veterans for Peace.

We have all we need. We just need to point our antenna in the right direction:)

The night blows cold and rainy, My love she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing. http://bobdylan.com/songs/zero.html

I was in Jerusalem in '96, drinking a beer at one of those outdoor cafes. Israeli soldiers with machine guns strolling back and forth. There was a girl with a guitar singing for sheckels on the sidewalk. I gave her all my money for "Blowin' in the Wind" and she sang it until I was broke and quite drunk. It was surreal, that song with those guns, in that place.
