When You Gonna Wake Up? (¿LA MAJESTUOSA INAUGURACIÓN DE LA ERA POSTCRISTIANA? (II, "Slow train coming" (BOB DYLAN))

 

 

Counterfeited philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts

Karl Marx has got ya by the throat, Henry Kissinger's got you tied up in knots. 

(...) 

You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that'll never cure your ills

 (...) 

The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced by the young

 (...) 

You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules. 

 (...) 

There's a man up on a cross

("When you gonna wake up") 

Have they counted the cost it’ll take to bring down
All their earthly principles they’re gonna have to abandon?
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend

(...)

You can’t rely no more to be standin’ around waitin'
In the home of the brave
Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend

(...)

Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
All nonbelievers and men stealers talkin’ in the name of religion

(...)

I don’t care about economy
I don’t care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
