Long Ago, Far Away

Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]
To preach of peace and brotherhood
Oh, what might be the cost!
A man he did it long ago
And they hung him on a cross
Long ago, far away
Those things don't happen nowadays

[Verse 2]
The chains of slaves they dragged the ground
With heads and hearts hung low
But that was during Lincoln's time
And that was long ago
Long ago, far away
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays

[Verse 3]
The war guns they bombed and blazed
The whole world bled its blood
Men’s bodies rotted on the ground
Their graves were made in mud
Long ago, far away
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays

[Verse 4]
One man died of a knifе so sharp
One man died from the bullеt of a gun
One man died of a broken heart
To see the lynching' of his son
Long ago, far away
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays

[Verse 5]
Gladiators killed themselves
It was during the Roman times
People cheered with bloodshot grins
As eyes and minds went blind
Long ago, far away
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays

[Verse 7]
To preach of peace and brotherhood
Oh, what might be the cost?
A man, he did it long ago
And they hung him on a cross
Long ago, far away
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays

[Outro]
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays
Things like that don't happen no more, nowadays
Do they?
