Ripped from the Headlines: "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll" was inspired by a real-life hotel barmaid struck down by a wealthy white man in a hotel in Maryland (1963). "Only A Pawn In Their Game" is based on the murder of civil rights activist Medgar Evers.

comment
Protest Song: "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "With God On Our Side", "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll", "Only A Pawn In Their Game"... this album is basically Dylan embracing protest songs altogether. (Only to largely abandon them on his next album six months later.)

My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: "With God On Our Side" criticizes the American government and army for their genocide on the Native American during the 19th century and the bloodshed during the American Civil War and Spanish-American War. It also criticizes the Red Scare and the nuclear arms race.

comment
The Eeyore: This is Dylan at his most dour, as the majority of the songs are about injustice of one sort or another, and even the non-protest songs ("One Too Many Mornings", "Boots of Spanish Leather", "Restless Farewell") are bittersweet tales of regret.

Pep-Talk Song: "The Times They Are-A Changin'" was perceived by many people in the 1960s as the call that society was going to change for the better. "When The Ship Comes In", where the foes will "drown in the tide and like Goliath they'll be conquered".

comment
Lyric Swap: Each chorus of "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll" ends with "now ain't the time for your tears", until the last verse reveals that the murderer got off with a slap on the wrist and Dylan concludes "NOW is the time for your tears." "With God On Our Side" is about being taught that each increasingly destructive war throughout history was won because the winners "had God on their side". It eventually ends on "If God is on our side, He'll stop the next war."
