Bob Dylan
Bob Dylanis an American singer-songwriter, artist and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when his songs chronicled social unrest, although Dylan repudiated suggestions from journalists that he was a spokesman for his generation.

How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?
Good intentions can be evil, both hands are full of grease. You know, sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
I have tried my hand at bribery, blackmail, and deceit. And I've served time for everything, cept beggin on the street.
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, my toes to numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wandering.
In the fury of the moment/ I can see the Master's hand In every leaf that trembles, in/ every grain of sand.
They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row.
If you can't lend a hand, then get out of the way.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
He hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime. He asks you with a grin, if you're having a good time.
The real power is in the hands of small groups of people and I don't think they have titles.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand, For the times they are a-changin'.
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
