*************************** THEY KILLED HIM ******************************** Bob Dylan version:Knocked out loaded album Standard tuning Chords: / Intro: / X4 There was a man named Hatma Gandi He would not bow down he would not fight He knew the deal was down and dirty And nothing wrong could make it right away..... But he knew his duty and the prize he had to pay.... Just another holy man who tried to be a friend My God they killed him. Another man from Atlanta Georgia By name of Martin Luther King He shook the land like the rolling thunder And made the bells of freedom ring today.... With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away.... Just another holy man who dared to make a stand My God they killed him. The only Son of God Almighty The holy one called Jesus Christ He healed the lame and fed the hungry And for his love they took his life away.... On the road to glory where the story never ends.... Just the holy Son of Man we’ll never understand My God they killed him. There was a man named Mahatma Gandi A man named Martin Luther King The only Son of God Almighty The only one called Jesus Christ.... On the road to glory where the story never ends.... Just the holy Son of Man we’ll never understand My God they killed him. There was a man named Mahatma Gandi A man named Martin Luther King The only Son of God Almighty The only one called Jesus Christ.... On the road to glory where the story never ends.... Just the holy Son of Man we’ll never understand My God they killed him. / Classik! Wan fur Bez.

Cette chanson évoque la vie et le sacrifice de figures emblématiques qui ont lutté pour la justice et la paix. Elle rend hommage à Mahatma Gandhi et Martin Luther King, deux hommes qui, par leurs actions non-violentes, ont cherché à promouvoir des idéaux de liberté et d'amour, malgré le fait qu'ils aient été tragiquement assassinés. La référence au Christ souligne l'idée que même ceux qui incarnent l'amour et la foi peuvent être rejoints par la violence. Le contexte pertinent ici est celui de la lutte pour les droits civiques et de la résistance pacifique face à l'oppression. Les paroles rappellent que ces leaders spirituels et humains ont fait face à une dure réalité, où leur paix et leur amour ont été confrontés à la haine et à la violence. Leur histoire demeure importante, non seulement pour se souvenir de leurs sacrifices, mais aussi pour continuer à aspirer à des valeurs de dignité et de compassion.
