Lyrics

Midnight in the village
Seeger lights the candles
From bitter end to gaslight
Baez leaves the stage

Ochs takes notes
When the black girl and guitar
Burn together hot in rage
You've got what it takes
You say too much

Lyrics continue below...

You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene, babe
I can see the magazines

I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

Kennedy would kill
For the lines that you've written
Van Ronk says to Bobby
"She's the next real thing"

Crouched in the half light
Screaming like a banshee
You're in the boat, babe
We're in the water
You say too much

Oh, you will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene, babe
I can see the magazines

I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene, babe
I can see the magazines

I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene, babe
I can see the magazines

I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world, babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire
