Masters Of War Dylan Series DSC_3307-Edit

Flicker x 100 2017 challenge. 15/100 Theme- Bob Dylan songs

 

From The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, released in 1963.

 

I had a different image in mind to make for this song but when Andrew Street Art Guru (www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom/) found this piece by the artist Lush this morning, we though it was a perfect fit. I know this isn't the first time I've said it and it won't be the last regarding the relevance of so many of Dylan's songs today.

 

I don't think I have to say anything too much about the relationship between this image and this song, except have a listen to the song if you have never heard it. It you have, enjoy it again. If you can't stomach Dylan, listen to Eddie Vedder's version which is awesome

A couple of verses from Masters of War by Dylan

 

Come 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 just want you to know

I can see through your masks.

 

You that never done nothin'

But build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it's your little toy

You put a gun in my hand

And you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly.

 

Like Judas of old

You lie and deceive

A world war can be won

You want me to believe

But I see through your eyes

And I see through your brain

Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain.
