Most beautiful and emotionally devastating song ever. Dylan gets the Nobel, but Paul Simon is the greatest lyricist ever.

This was the first song I thought of, after the election results, which did not surprise me one damned bit. The other song, was Welcome To The Occupation, by R.E. M.. Simon's song was written during the nightmare of Watergate. This time, there is not going to be any justice or righting of the ship, I'm afraid. Trump will succeed in doing all the things Nixon and his men didn't get away with, because we have become a lawless country, when it comes to our national leaders, esp. with our SC making our presidents kings and emperors..
