“Workingman’s Blues #2” by Bob Dylan on Modern Times
“Ring! Ring! It’s 7 AM!
Move yourself to go again.”
—The Clash, “The Magnificent Seven”
When you’ve got 20 years of working behind you, and another 20 to go, and it seems like a “long way to go, a hard row to hoe” (in the words of John Lennon), this is a good song to listen to:
“Now the place is ringed with countless foes,
Some of them may be deaf and dumb,
No man, no woman knows
The hour that sorrow will come.”
—Bob Dylan, “Workingman’s Blues #2”
