Tag: four branches of government

Here’s a Dylan song dedicated to all members of the four branches of American guv’mint: executive, legislative, judicial and muskrat Sam.

It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, guys
If’n you don’t know by now
And it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, guys
It’ll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and we’ll all be gone
You’re the reason we’re a-traveling on
Please think twice – cause you ain’t right.

And it ain’t no use in turning on your lights, guys
Those lights we never knowed
And it ain’t no use in turning on your lights, guys
We’re on the dark side of the road
But we wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
To try and make us change our minds and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
Please think twice – cause you ain’t right.

So it ain’t no use in calling out our names, guys
Like you never done before
And it ain’t no use in calling out our names, guys
We can’t hear you anymore
We’re a-thinking and a-wondering’ walking down the road
We once loved a country, its freedoms untold
We gave you our hearts but you wanted our souls
Please think twice – cause you ain’t right.
