Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime,
didn’t you?
People’d call, say, beware doll,
you’re bound to fall
You thought they were all
kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You’ve gone to the finest school
all right, miss lonely
But you know you only
used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you
how to live on the street
And now you find out
you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around
to see the frowns
on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down
and did tricks for you
You never understood
that it ain’t no good
You shouldn’t let other people
get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse
with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder
a siamese cat
Ain’t it hard
when you discover that
He really wasn’t
where it’s at
After he took from you
everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple
and all the pretty people
They’re drinkin’,
thinkin’ that they
got it made
Exchanging all kinds of
precious gifts and things
But you’d better lift
your diamond ring,
you’d 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 you,
you can’t refuse
When you got nothing,
you got nothing to lose

You’re invisible now,
you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
