The facts of life


Well you say youve got everything you wanted
All your beds are full and your houses are haunted
And everything you need, well you got it on credit
Theres nothing we can think and you havent said it
But something tells me that everything is gonna change
When your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrange
And when it does I know that
You wont be where its at
You better learn
The facts of life

I guess that no-one ever took you aside
And pointed out the difference between black and white
And now it seems that role has fallen to me
Which is kinds strange when you consider who you wanna be
And you come you dont know
How low youll have to go
To realise the facts of life

Youre too old to learn your abcs
And its much more sinister than the birds and the bees
You know I told you it was, didnt i?

So now youre dead buried and neglected
And youre learning much more than you ever expected
No-one can explain your heart attack
Now everyones bringing up baby behind your back
Bet you wish youd listened close
Instead of taking an overdose
Bet you wish you knew
The facts of life
The facts of life

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

John Wesley Harding is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
