Murder Most Foul
Bob Dylan
Twas a dark day in Dallas, November '63
A day that will live on in infamy
President Kennedy was a-ridin' high
Good day to be livin' and a good day to die
Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
He said, "Wait a minute, boys, you know who I am?"
"Of course we do, we know who you are"
Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car
Shot down like a dog in broad daylight
Was a matter of timing and the timing was right
You got unpaid debts, we've come to collect
We're gonna kill you with hatred, without any respect
We'll mock you and shock you and we'll put it in your face
We've already got someone here to take your place
The day they blew out the brains of the king
Thousands were watchin', no one saw a thing
It happened so quickly, so quick, by surprise
Right there in front of everyone's eyes
Greatest magic trick ever under the sun
Perfectly executed, skillfully done
Wolfman, oh Wolfman, oh Wolfman, howl
Rub-a-dub-dub, it's a murder most foul
Hush, little children, you'll understand
The Beatles are comin', they're gonna hold your hand
Slide down the banister, go get your coat
Ferry 'cross the Mersey and go for the throat
There's three bums comin' all dressed in rags
Pick up the pieces and lower the flags
I'm goin' to Woodstock, it's the Aquarian Age
Then I'll go to Altamont and sit near the stage
Put your head out the window, let the good times roll
There's a party goin' on behind the Grassy Knoll
Stack up the bricks, pour the cement
Don't say Dallas don't love you, Mr. President
Put your foot in the tank and step on the gas
Try to make it to the triple underpass
Blackface singer, whiteface clown
Better not show your faces after the sun goes down
I'm in the red-light district, like a cop on the beat
Livin' in a nightmare on Elm Street
When you're down in Deep Ellum, put your money in your shoe
Don't ask what your country can do for you
Cash on the barrelhead, money to burn
Dealey Plaza, make a left-hand turn
I'm goin' down to the crossroads, gonna flag a ride
The place where faith, hope, and charity died
Shoot him while he runs, boy, shoot him while you can
See if you can shoot the invisible man
Goodbye, Charlie, goodbye, Uncle Sam
Frankly, Miss Scarlet, I don't give a damn
What is the truth, and where did it go?
Ask Oswald and Ruby, they oughta know
"Shut your mouth," said the wise old owl
Business is business, and it's a murder most foul
Tommy, can you hear me? I'm the Acid Queen
I'm riding in a long, black Lincoln limousine
Riding in the backseat next to my wife
Heading straight on in to the afterlife
I'm leaning to the left, I got my head in her lap
Hold on, I've been led into some kind of a trap
Where we ask no quarter, and no quarter do we give
We're right down the street from the street where you live
They mutilated his body and they took out his brain
What more could they do? They piled on the pain
But his soul's not there where it was supposed to be at
For the last fifty years they've been searchin' for that
Freedom, oh freedom, freedom over me
I hate to tell you, mister, but only dead men are free
Send me some lovin', tell me no lies
Throw the gun in the gutter and walk on by
Wake up, little Suzie, let's go for a drive
Cross the Trinity River, let's keep hope alive
Turn the radio on, don't touch the dials
Parkland hospital, only six more miles
You got me dizzy, Miss Lizzy, you filled me with lead
That magic bullet of yours has gone to my head
I'm just a patsy like Patsy Cline
Never shot anyone from in front or behind
Got blood in my eye, got blood in my ear
I'm never gonna make it to the new frontier
Zapruder's film, I've seen that before
Seen it thirty-three times, maybe more
It's vile and deceitful, it's cruel and it's mean
Ugliest thing that you ever have seen
They killed him once and they killed him twice
Killed him like a human sacrifice
The day that they killed him, someone said to me, "Son
The age of the Antichrist has just only begun"
Air Force One comin' in through the gate
Johnson sworn in at 2:38
Let me know when you decide to throw in the towel
It is what it is, and it's murder most foul
What's new, pussycat? What'd I say?
I said the soul of a nation been torn away
And it's beginning to go into a slow decay
And that it's thirty-six hours past Judgment Day

Tell them, "We're waiting, keep coming"
We'll get them as well

Bir zamanlama meselesiydi ve zamanlama doğruydu
Ödenmemiş borçlarınız var, tahsil etmeye geldik
Seni nefretle, saygı duymadan öldüreceğiz
Seninle alay edip, seni şok edeceğiz ve yüzüne vuracağız
Burada senin yerini alacak birini çoktan bulduk
Kralın beynini patlattıkları gün
Binlerce kişi izliyordu, kimse bir şey görmedi
Çok hızlı, çok hızlı gerçekleşti her şey, sürpriz oldu
Orada herkesin gözlerinin önünde
Güneş altında şimdiye kadarki en büyük sihir
Mükemmel idam, ustaca yapıldı
Wolfman, oh wolfman, oh wolfman feryatları
Rub-a-dub-dub, bu çok kötü bir cinayet
[Verse 2]
Sus, küçük çocuk, anlayacaksın
Beatles geliyor, elini tutacaklar
Korkuluğu aşağı kaydırın, ceketinizi alın
Ferry, Mersey'i geç ve boğaza git
Hepsi paçavra giymiş üç serseri var
Parçaları al ve bayrakları indir
Woodstock'a gidiyorum, bu Kova Burçluların çağı
Sonra Altamont'a gidip sahnenin yanına oturacağım
Kafanı pencereden dışarı koy, iyi zamanların gitmesine izin ver
Grassy Knoll'un arkasında bir parti var
Tuğlaları biriktirin, çimento dökün
Dallas'ın seni sevmediğini söyleme, Sayın Başkan
Ayağınızı tanka koyun ve gaza basın
Üçlü alt geçide yapmaya çalışın
Siyah yüzlü şarkıcısı, beyaz yüzlü palyaço
Güneş battıktan sonra yüzlerini göstermesen daha iyi olur
Kırmızı ışık bölgesinde polis var
Elm Sokağında kabus yaşıyorum
Deep Ellum'a düştüğünde, paranı ayakkabının içine koy
Ülkenizin sizin için neler yapabileceğini sorma
Oy pusulasında nakit, yakmak için para
Dealey Plaza, sola dönün
Kavşak noktalarına iniyorum, bir yolculuğu işaretleyeceğim
İnancın, umudun ve yardımın olduğu bir yeri
Koşarken vur onu, oğlum, şansın varken vur
Görünmez adamı vurabilir misin bak
Güle güle Charlie! Güle güle Sam Amca!
Açıkçası, Bayan Scarlett, umrumda değil
Gerçek nedir ve nereye gitti?
Oswald ve Ruby'ye sor, bilmeliler
"Ağzını kapat," dedi bilge yaşlı bir baykuş
İş iştir ve bu en kötü cinayet
[Verse 3]
Tommy, beni duyabiliyor musun? Ben Acid Kraliçesi'yim
Uzun, siyah bir Lincoln limuzinine biniyorum
Eşimin yanındaki arka koltukta oturuyorum
Öbür dünyaya doğru yöneliyorum
Sola yaslanıyorum, başımı kucağına aldım
Bekle, bir tür tuzağa düşürüldüm
Sorduğumuz bölge yok, ve verebileceğimiz çeyreğimiz yok
Sokağın aşağısındayız, yaşadığınız sokağın
Vücudunu parçaladılar ve beynini çıkardılar
Daha ne yapabilirlerdi? Acı çekiyorlar
Ama ruhu orada olduğu yerde değildi
Son elli yıldır bunu araştırıyorlar
Özgürlük, ah özgürlük, özgürlüğüm bitti
Sana söylemekten nefret ediyorum, bayım, ama sadece ölü insanlar özgürdür
Bana biraz sevgi gönder, ve bana yalan söylemeyin
Silahı oluğa atın ve üzerinde yürüyün
Uyan, küçük Susie, hadi arabayla gidelim
Trinity Nehri'ni geçin, umudunu canlı tutalım
Radyoyu açın, kadranlara dokunmayın
Parkland Hastanesi, sadece altı mil daha
Beni sersemlettin Bayan Lizzy, beni kurşunla doldurdunuz
O sihirli mermin, başıma geldi
Ben sadece Patsy Cline gibi bir kurbanım
Asla kimseyi önünden veya arkasından vurmayın
Gözümde kan var, kulağımda kan var
Asla yeni sınıra ulaşamayacağım
Zapruder'in önceki gece izlediğim filmi
Otuz üç kez gördüm, belki daha fazla
Aşağılık ve aldatıcı, acımasız ve kötü
Gördüğün en çirkin şey
Onu bir kez öldürdüler ve iki kez öldürdüler
Onu bir insan kurbanı gibi öldürdü
Onu öldürdükleri gün birisi bana dedi ki
"Oğlum Deccal'in çağı daha yeni başladı "
Hava Kuvvetleri bir kapıdan içeri giriyor
Johnson 02.38'de yemin etti
Havlunu atmaya karar verdiğinde bana haber et
Neyse ne, ve bu en kötü cinayet
[Verse 4]
Haberler nasıl, Pussycat? Ne dedim ben?
Bir ulusun ruhunun parçalandığını söyledim
Ve yavaşça çürümeye başlıyor

Kardeşler? Hangi kardeşler? Neden bahsediyorsun?
Onlara, "Bekliyoruz, gelmeye devam et" deyin, onları da alacağız
Love Field: onun uçağının iniş yaptığı yer
