Man thinks ’cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please

Oh, man has invented his doom

People who are sad – sometimes they wear a frown
And people who are kings – sometimes they wear a crown
But all the people who don’t fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin’ people down

Original song by John Prine:
Bob Dylan has covered this song twice… The other time was @ Palace Theatre, Sao Paolo, Brazil – 17 August 1991.

People without love – sometimes build a fence around

But all the people who don’t fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin’ people down
People puttin’ people downSo cold, sometimes it gets so cold

Within the sound of silence

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
