My Back Pages [alternate Version] Lyrics - Younger Than Yesterday - The Byrds

Crimson flames tied through my years 

Flowing high and mighty trapped 

Countless fire and flaming roads 

Using ideas as my maps 

We'll meet on edges soon, said I 

Proud 'neath heated brow 

Ah, but I was so much older then 

I'm younger than that now 

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth 

Rip down all hate, I screamed 

Lies that life is black and white 

Spoke from my skull, I dreamed 

Romantic flanks of musketeers 

Foundationed deep, somehow 

Ah, but I was so much older then 

I'm younger than that now

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand 

At the mongrel dogs who teach 

Fearing not I'd become my enemy 

In the instant that I preach 

Sisters fled by confusion boats 

Mutiny from stern to bow 

Ah, but I was so much older then 

I'm younger than that now 

Ah, but I was so much older then 

I'm younger than that now 

Photos 

My guard stood hard when abstract threats 

Too noble to neglect 

Deceived me into thinking 

I had something to protect 

Good and bad, I define these terms 

Quite clear, no doubt, somehow 

Ah, but I was so much older then 

I'm younger than that now
