Contexto: It's peculiar and unnerving in a way to see so many young people walking around with cellphones and iPods in their ears and so wrapped up in media and video games. It robs them of their self-identity. It's a shame to see them so tuned out to real life. Of course they are free to do that, as if that's got anything to do with freedom. The cost of liberty is high, and young people should understand that before they start spending their life with all those gadgets.

You don’t have to explain it to me.

Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown.

If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
In the jingle-jangle morning, I'll come following you.
