Lyrics Medley: My Back Pages / B.J. Blues / Baby, What Do You Want Me to Do - The Byrds



Crimson flames tied through my years
Rollin′ high and mighty trapped
Countless violent flaming roads
Using ideas as my map
"We'll meet on edges soon," said I
Proud ′neath heated brow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundation deep, somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier′s stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
In the instant that I preach
Sisters fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I′m younger than that now
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I′m younger than that now
