Doug Passon - Hospital in Duluth Lyrics

When my dad was a young man
He went sellin' door to door
Making his way thanking God everyday
He had the chance to change his uniform

And guns cut down
Four kids
In a little college town
All they were asking for
Was an end to all the endless war

And meanwhile in a hospital in Duluth Minnesota
In the exact same spot where Robert Zimmerman was born
I came into this world kicking and screaming
In the early morn
Looking to start some trouble

But back in LA a little man opened the gates of hell
His Jury holes up
In the ambassador hotel
Eating food from the same kitchen
Where the dreams of a nation fell

Like MLK and all the heroes of his day
Who Met their end
With the blast of a gun
In the years to come
Those guns would
Land in the hands of everyone

And meanwhile in a hospital in Duluth Minnesota
In the exact same spot where Robert Zimmerman was born
I came into this world kicking and screaming
In the early morn
Looking to start some trouble

And I'll never understand the delusional unraveling of my country
And I wonder if this war with myself can ever be won
So sometimes I like to pretend I'm the voice of my generation
But I'm just my father's son
And that's okay with me

'Cause meanwhile in a hospital in Duluth Minnesota
In the exact same spot where I was born
Some girl's comin in this world
She's kicking and screaming
In the early morn
And she's looking to start some trouble
