People love Bob Dylan. I personally do not like his voice but his lyrics deserve all the respect there is. I recently heard this song in the movie "Watchmen".
The grey characters and plot of the movie seemed to have been developed around the below song rather than the song being used as an apt filler.
"Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall"
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'."
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
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'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
A visionary. An inspiration.

Ozymandias wants to destroy New York so that he can bring World peace... his ideologies are twisted but it makes sense. A judgement truly for the greater good, the loss of human life is not collateral damage instead its a necessary sacrifice.
Government Lords plan to fight against each other when beneath them a more sinister yet kind plot unravels.
