I've recently arrived at the conclusion that Dylan is probably the greatest lyricist that's ever lived. Hardly a surprise to some people, but it was to me.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

Genius. ^
