Here are the words to Subterranean Homesick Blues
by Bob Dylan:

Johnny`s in the basement, mixing up the medicine
I`m on the pavement, thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,
Says he got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off
Look out kid, it`s something you did
God knows when but you`re doin` it again
You better duck down the alleyway, lookin` for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap in the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot Face full off black soot
Talkin` that the heat put plants in the bed but
The phone`s tapped anyway Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May orders from the D.A.
Look out kid don`t matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes don`t try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose watch the plain clothes
You don`t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well, hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell if anything is goin` to sell
Try hard, get barred, get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail
Look out kid you`re gonna get hit
But users, cheaters, six-time losers
Hang around the theaters, girl by the whirlpool
Lookin` for a new fool, don`t foolow leaders
Watch the parkin` meters

Ah get born, keep warm, short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts, don`t steal, don`t lift
Twenty years of schoolin` and they put you on the day shift
Look out kid they keep it all hid
Better junp down a manhole light yourself a candle
Don`t wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals
Don`t wanna be a bum you better chew gum
The pump won`t work @cause the vandals took the handles
