More quotes by Dylan, Bob

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes the toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.

Bob Dylan (b. 1941) American singer, songwriter
“Masters of War” (song) (1963)
