Lyrics It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (Live) - Bob Dylan & The Band
Darkness
at
the
break
of
noon
Shadows
even
the
silver
spoon
The
handmade
blade,
the
child's
balloon
Eclipses
both
the
sun
and
moon
To
understand
you
know
too
soon
There
is
no
sense
in
trying
Pointed
threats,
they
bluff
with
scorn
Suicide
remarks
are
torn
From
the
fools
gold
mouthpiece
The
hollow
horn
plays
Wasted
words
proved
to
warn
That
he
not
busy
being
born
is
busy
dying
Temptation's
page
flies
out
the
door
You
follow,
find
yourself
at
war
Watch
waterfalls
of
pity
roar
Feel
to
moan
but
unlike
before
You
discover
that
you'd
just
be
One
more
person
crying
So
don't
fear
if
you
hear
A
foreign
sound
in
your
ear
It's
alright,
Ma,
I'm
only
sighing
Some
warn
victory,
some
downfall
Private
reasons
great
or
small
Can
be
seen
in
the
eyes
of
those
that
call
To
make
all
that
should
be
killed
to
crawl
While
others
say
don't
hate
nothing
at
all
Except
hatred
Disillusioned
words
are
like
a
bullet's
bark
As
human
gods
aim
for
their
mark
Make
everything
from
toy
guns
that
spark
To
flesh-colored
Christs
that
glow
in
the
dark
Easy
to
see
without
looking
too
far
That
not
much
is
really
sacred
While
preachers
preach
of
the
evil
fates
Teachers
teach
that
knowledge
waits
Can
lead
to
the
hundred-dollar
plates
Goodness
hides
behind
its
gates
But
even
the
President
of
the
United
States
Sometimes
must
have
to
stand
naked
Though
the
rules
of
the
road
have
been
lodged
It's
people's
games,
you
got
to
dodge
But
it's
alright,
Ma,
I
can
make
it
Advertising
signs
that
con
You
into
thinking
you're
the
one
That
can
do
what's
never
been
done
That
can
win
what's
never
been
won
Meantime
life
outside
goes
on
All
around
you
You
loose
yourself,
you
reappear
You
suddenly
find
you
got
nothing
to
fear
Alone
you
stand
with
nobody
near
When
a
trembling
distant
voice,
unclear
Startles
your
sleeping
ears
to
hear
Someone
thinks
they
really
found
you
A
question
in
your
nerves
is
lit
Yet
you
know
there
is
no
answer
fit
to
satisfy
Insure
you
not
to
quit
To
keep
it
in
your
mind
and
not
forget
That
it
is
not
he
or
she
or
them
or
it
That
you
belong
to
Although
the
masters
make
the
rules
For
the
wise
men
and
the
fools
I
got
nothing,
Ma
to
live
up
to
Old
lady
judges
watch
people
in
pairs
Limited
in
sex,
they
dare
To
push
fake
morals,
insult
and
stare
Money
doesn't
talk,
it
swears
Obscenity,
who
really
cares
Propaganda,
all
is
phony
While
them
that
defend
what
they
cannot
see
With
a
killer's
pride,
security
It
blows
the
minds
most
bitterly
For
them
that
think
death's
honesty
Won't
fall
upon
them
naturally
Life
sometimes
must
get
lonely
My
eyes
collide
head-on
with
stuffed
graveyards
False
Gods,
I
scuff
At
pettiness
which
plays
so
rough
Walk
upside-down
inside
handcuffs
Kick
my
legs
to
crash
it
off
Say
alright,
I've
had
enough
What
else
can
you
show
me?
And
if
my
thought-dreams
could
be
seen
They'd
probably
put
my
head
in
a
guillotine
But
it's
alright,
Ma,
it's
life
and
life
only
