You that never done nothing
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do.
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.
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove.
Damn you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone,
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe.
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let your down.
