Bob Dylan: An Unauthorized Biography by Paper Ceilings

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 1:

He was born in Minnesota with a different name

I know this 'cause I read his Wikipedia page

He won a Pulitzer prize in 2008

He's also in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 2:

He wеnt to New York at the age of 19

To hang out in a Mеntal House with Woody Guthrie

He met some other dudes

One was named Van Ronk

And they all sat around and sang stupid folk songs

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 3:

Somewhere 'long the line he started being good

And John Hammond signed him 'cause he thought that he should

So Bob out out a record in '62

And some people bought it, 'least more than a few

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 4:

And a lil' while later, Bob went electric

He was at Newport Folk Fest, the crowd wasn't quite acceptive

Then everybody hated him, and it was sorta sad

And then Bob got in a real bad motorcycle crash

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 5:

And then Bob started writing bad songs for fun

And everyone who heard them said, "Man, I guess he's done"

But he was still yet to write "Blood on the Tracks"

And once again Bob would have the last laugh

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 6:

And then Bob turned Christian, he was born again

He wrote some songs about it but no one listened

And the few who did weren't thoroughly convinced

Everyone had thought Bob had gone off the deep end

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 7:

Bob mellowed out after the Christian years

Though he did a Christmas album to spread that holiday cheer

But no one really cares about Bob anymore

At least he still gets good Pitchfork scores

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them

Verse 8:

Bob's still alive, he's still doin' okay

Though his voice is shot from smoking 14 packs a day

But even if he had gone insane

I'd still sing his songs any day

Chorus:

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

Some were great, some were way too fucking long

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs

But this is not one of them
