From The Youngest:
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue













To the former first lady, the former democratic front runner, the fake hippie itching for a "hippie museum" to be built near Woodstock--and especially to the woman running for president who, deep into the campaign, lost the majority of woman voters in Virginia--Cheers! Your uninspired, cold, calculated campaign of "experience" over "hope" was DOA. It was boring. You campaigned. You showed your face and spoke. The more you did so, the more of your supporters "turned on, tuned in, and dropped out". You are the establishment, man, you are old news. An aging democrat using old tricks, pinning her hopes on racial fear and prejudice. The fact that the tide has turned and women would rather vote for a black man than you says a lot.

I bid you farewell, Hilldog, I never thought you had a chanceā€¦and that was before Iowa went down.

I'll let Bob Dylan eulogize your megalomaniacal hopes and dreams.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
