Songwriter: Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (or the “Gimmes”) is the result of the collaboration of several artists from the Fat Wreck Chords family. Members include Joey Cape and Dave Raun from Lagwagon, Fat Mike from NOFX, Chris Shiflett from No Use for a Name and the Foo Fighters, and Spike Slawson from the Swingin' Utters. The band records nothing but punk covers of popular songs from some of the most un-punk genres.
