von Drive-By Truckers

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Like a Rolling Stone" von Drive-By Truckers ist ein Song über den Verlust von Ansehen und den damit verbundenen soziale...

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 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 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's ever taught you how to live on the Street
And now 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 without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned 'round
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 discovered 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 without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
Are 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 loose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to Conceal

How does it feel? How does it feel?
To be without a home? Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
