Heres a song written by Dylan A thing called Like a Rolling Stone Once upon a time, you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime Oh, didnt you? People call, say Beware doll Youre bound to fall You thought they all A-kiddin you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin out Now you dont talk so loud Now you dont seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be without a home? Like a complete unknown? Like a rolling stone? Aw, youve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely But ya know ya only used to get juicеd in it Nobodys ever taught ya how to live out on thе street And now you’re gonna have to get used to it You say you never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize Hes not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say, “Do you want to make a deal? How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone? Aw, you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you Never understood that it aint no good You shouldnt let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Aint it hard when you discover that He really wasnt where its at After he took from you everything he could steal? How does it feel? How does it feel? To hang on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone? Aw, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people Theyre all drinkin, thinkin that they got it made Exchangin all precious gifts But youd better take your diamond ring, ya better pawn it, babe You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls ya, ya cant refuse When ya aint got nothin, you got nothin to lose Youre invisible now, ya got no secrets to conceal How does it feel? Aw, how does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone?

I pity the poor immigrant Who wishes he wouldve stayed home Who uses all his power to do evil But in the end is always left so alone That man whom with his fingers cheats And who lies with ev’ry breath Who passionately hates his life And likewise, fears his death I pity the poor immigrant Whose strength is spent in vain Whose heaven is like Ironsides Whose tears are like rain Who eats but is not satisfied Who hears but does not see Who falls in lovе with wealth itself And turns his back on me I pity the poor immigrant Who tramples through the mud Who fills his mouth with laughing And who builds his town with blood Whose visions in the final end Must shatter like the glass I pity the poor immigrant When his gladness comes to pass

Ehi tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Sì, tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Fai nellalba un suono amico e docilmente verrò Lo so che con lincanto Della notte che scompare Anche i sogni vanno a mare E rimango a mani cieche e vuote e insonni ormai Ma questa volta è peggio, sai Non so ricominciare Non ho un nome da invocare E la strada antica è morta più che mai Ehi tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Sì, tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Fai nellalba un suono amico e docilmente verrò Aprimi una strada col tuo magico tintin Sai, mi sembra di sognare Quando non ti puoi aggrapparе Tenti ma non puoi scappare Non ti chiedo niеnte meglio che fuggire via Son pronto per qualunque cosa Pronto per svanire Per lasciarmi scomparire Dammi un canto da seguire E sarò tuo, lo giuro Ehi tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Sì, tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Fai nellalba un suono amico e docilmente verrò Sì, cè un vago riso A mo di sviso In contrappunto al sole Ma non ti farà alcun male La sua smania è di vagare Ma oltre al cielo non capisce altre frontiere E se udrai un trottolar di rime Seguirti nel mattino A tempo col tuo tamburino Non voltarti, è un clown soltanto Che sorride e non sa intanto Che può udirti ma non ti potrà vedere mai Ehi tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Sì, tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Fai nellalba un suono amico e docilmente verrò Cancellami dal cuore Ogni pensiero annuvolato Nebbie e scorie del passato Via dagli alberi stregati Dai germogli intirizziti Fuori al vento e via lontano Dal dominio insano di magoni infami Sì, danzare sotto un cielo Di diamanti e ondeggerà La mia mano incontro al mare Sui prosceni dogni riva Le memorie ed i destini Persi in vortici lontani Porta loggi via con te fino a domani Ehi tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Non ho sonno e non ho un posto in cui tornare Sì, tu col tamburino Senti, vuoi suonare? Fai nellalba un suono amico e docilmente verrò

Tocca squagliarsela da qui Disse il jolly al ladro C’è troppa confusione Mi, mi sento fuori squadro Zappaterra e bottegai Mi ruban vino e campo Ma ce ne fosse almeno uno Che si rendesse conto Ehi, non agitarti più di tanto Disse il ladro sornione Tra noi molti già lo sanno La vita è il tiro dun buffone Ma tu ed io, noi si è già dato Niente che ci riguardi E allora meno storie, su Si sta facendo tardi Lungo i merli di vedetta Regnanti all’erta In un viavai di donne ossesse E servitù stravolte Ringhiò una lince in lontananza E in avvicinamento Ecco due cavalieri E già salzava... E già salzava il vento
Well, I will not go down under the ground ’Cause somebody tells me that death’s coming round An’ I will not carry myself down to die When I go to my grave my head will be high Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground There’s been rumors of war and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost with the wind And some people thinking that the end is close by ’Stead of learning to live they are learning to die Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground I don’t know if I’m smart but I think I can see When someone is pulling the wool over me So if... Do you want this? Do you want to put this on? Its awful long, I mean its not that long, its just that its a drag I sang it so many times

Aint it just like the night to play tricks When youre tryin to be so quiet? We sit here stranded, though were all doing our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain tempting you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft The country music station plays soft Nothing, really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined These visions of Johanna conquer my mind Empty lot where the ladies play Blindmans bluff with the keychain The all-night girls, they whisper out on the D train We can hear thе night watchman click his flashlight Ask himself if its him or them, its insane Louisе, shes alright, shes just near Shes delicate and seems like the mirror She makes it all too concise and too clear That Johannas not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have taken my place Little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously When bringing her name up he speaks of her farewell kiss to me Hes sure got a lot of gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while Im in the hall How can I explain? Its so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna, kept me up past the dawn Inside the museums Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles The primitive wallflower freeze The jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say Jeez, I cant find my knees. Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule Visions of Johanna make it all seem so cruel The peddler now speaks to the countess whos pretending to care for him Name me someone thats not a parasite And Ill go out and say a prayer for him. Like Louise always says Ya cant look at much, can ya, man? As she, herself, prepares for him Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler now steps to the road He writes everythings been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes Oh, the harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain These visions of Johanna are now all that remain These visions of Johanna are now all that remain

People call, say Beware, doll, youre bound to fall You thought they were all kiddin you You used to laugh about everybody that was hangin out Now you dont talk so loud, now you dont seem so proud About havin to be scroungin your next meal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home A complete unknown, like a rollin stone Youve gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody never told you how to live out on the street But now youre gonna have to get used to it You said youd never compromise With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize Hes not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And he says, Do you want to make a deal? How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home A complete unknown, like a rollin stone How does it feel? How does it feel? Like a rollin stone
I woke up this mornin, there were tears in my bed They killed a man I really loved, shot him the head Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down Lord, they laid him in the ground Sent him off to prison for a seventy-dollar robbery Closed the door behind him and threw away the key Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down Lord, they laid him in the ground He wouldnt take shit from no one, he wouldnt bow down or kneel Authorities, they hated him because he was just too real Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down Lord, they laid him in the ground Prison guards, they hitted him as they cursed him from above But they were frightened of his power, they were scared of his love Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down Lord, they laid him in the ground Sometimes I think this whole world is one big prison yard Some of us are prisoners, the rest of us are guards Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down Lord, they laid him in the ground Lord, Lord, they cut George Jackson down Lord, they laid him in the ground
Down the street the dogs are barkin And the day is gettin dark As the night comes in a-fallin The dogs will lose their bark And the silent night will shatter From the sounds inside my mind For Im one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind From the crossroads of my doorstep My eyes they start to fade As I turn my head back to the room Where my love and I have laid And I gaze back to the street The sidewalk and the sign Im one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind Its a restless hungry feeling That dont mean no one no good When everything Im sayin You can say it just as good You are right from your side Im right from mine Were just one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind Were just one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? Ive stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains Ive walked and Ive crawled on six crooked highways Ive stepped in the middle of seven sad forests Ive been out in front of a dozen dead oceans Ive been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And its a hard, and its a hard, its a hard, and its a hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin I saw a white ladder all covered with water I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children And its a hard, and its a hard, its a hard, its a hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin Heard ten thousand whisperin and nobody listenin Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And its a hard, and its a hard, its a hard, its a hard And its a hard rains a-gonna fall Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony I met a white man who walked a black dog I met a young woman whose body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded with hatred And its a hard, its a hard, its a hard, its a hard Its a hard rains a-gonna fall Oh, whatll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Oh, whatll you do now, my darling young one? Im a-goin back out fore the rain starts a-fallin Ill walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison Where the executioners face is always well hidden Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And Ill tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it Then Ill stand on the ocean until I start sinkin But Ill know my song well before I start singin And its a hard, its a hard, its a hard, its a hard Its a hard rains a-gonna fall
