Come women and men who hashtag Me Too, and believe me when I say that we believe you. For weak is the man who calls truth fake news. Times up, our silence were breaking, he sings
Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that our country dont feel like our home
And that silence speaks louder than those who condone
If a tweet to you is worth favin
Then lift up your voices and put down your phones
For the times they are a-changin
Come women and men who hashtag Me Too
And believe me when I say that we believe you
For weak is the man who calls truth fake news
Times up, our silence were breaking
And even though Mel Gibson was in Daddys Home 2
Well the times they are a-changin
Come athletes with platforms throughout the land
Who by taking a knee are taking a stand
And before you shout out that they should be banned
Listen to what they are saying
Perhaps theyd stand up if you reached out your hand
Well the times they are a-changing
Come journalists, writers who report the facts
And brandish your pen to fend off his attacks
Look past what he says and look at how he acts
The fire and fury is raging
For his words can hurt, but your words can fight back
New York Times, they arent a-failin
Come leaders who bully like Internet trolls
Well curse you with four-letter words love and hope
For we will go high even when you go low
The order is re-arranging
For you have the power, but we have the vote
The times they are a-changin

(23,539 posts)So now he's attacking trump more. But I'm glad he's become more political. He told Terri Gross on a Fresh Air interview several months ago that he wouldn't. I'm glad he changed his mind.

(33,643 posts)Might've misheard though.
It's great stuff , he pretty much nails the Dylan impersonation ... but he's always been REALLY good at that sort of thing going back to his SNL tryout video. He's like the Frank Caliendo of musical impressions and quite a talented musical performer in general.
