Bruce Springsteen: Like A Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you
People called say beware doll
You're bound to fall
You thought they were all
Kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging it 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
Allright miss lonely
But you know you only used to get
Juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you
How to live in the 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
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to do
Make a deal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your homewith no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You never turned around to see the frowns


On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all 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 hang on your home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Princess on the steeple
And all the pretty people
They're drinking thinking
That they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better
Take a 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 ain't got nothing
You got nothing to lose
You are invisible nowyou got no secrets to conceal

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