by Bob Dylan



Oh, ye playboys and playgirls

Ain't a-gonna run my world,

Ain't a-gonna run my world,

Ain't a-gonna run my world.

Ye playboys and playgirls

Ain't a-gonna run my world,

Not now or no other time.



You fallout shelter sellers

Can't get in my door,

Can't get in my door,

Can't get in my door.

You fallout shelter seller

Can't get in my door,

Not now or no other time.



Your Jim Crow ground

Can't turn me around,

Can't turn me around,

Can't turn me around.

Your Jim Crow ground

Can't turn me around,

Not now or no other time.



The laughter in the lynch mob

Ain't a-gonna do no more,

Ain't a-gonna do no more,

Ain't a-gonna do no more.

The laughter in the lynch mob

Ain't a-gonna do no more,

Not now or no other time.



You insane tongues of war talk

Ain't a-gonna guide my road,

Ain't a-gonna guide my road,

Ain't a-gonna guide my road.

You insane tongues of war talk

Ain't a-gonna guide my road,

Not now or no other time.



You red baiters and race haters

Ain't a-gonna hang around here,

Ain't a-gonna hang around here,

Ain't a-gonna hang around here.

You red baiters and race haters,

Ain't a-gonna hang around here,

Not now or no other time.



Ye playboys and playgirls

Ain't a-gonna own my world,

Ain't a-gonna own my world,

Ain't a-gonna own my world.

Ye playboys and playgirls,

Ain't a-gonna own my world,

Not now or no other time
