GREEN DAY

GREEN DAY - Like A Rolling Stone lyrics

rate me

<BR>

<i>[Originally by Bob Dylan]</i><br>

<br>

Once upon a time you dressed so fine<br>

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? <br>

Peopled call, say, beware doll, youre bound to fall<br>

You thought they were all kiddin you<br>

You used to laugh about<br>

Everybody that was hangin out<br>

Now you don't talk so loud<br>

Now you don't seem so proud<br>

About having to be scrounging for your next meal.<br>

<br>

How does it feel<br>

How does it feel<br>

To be without a home<br>

Like a complete unknown<br>

Like a rolling stone?<br>

<br>

You've gone to the finest school all right, miss lonely<br>

But you know you only used to get juiced in it<br>

And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street<br>

And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it<br>

You said you'd never compromise<br>

With the mystery tramp, but now you realize<br>

He's not selling any alibis<br>

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes<br>

And ask him do you want to make a deal?<br>

<br>

How does it feel<br>

How does it feel<br>

To be on your own<br>

With no direction home<br>

Like a complete unknown<br>

Like a rolling stone?<br>

<br>

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns<br>

When they all come down and did tricks for you<br>

You never understood that it ain't no good<br>

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you<br>

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat<br>

Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat<br>

Ain't it hard when you discover that<br>

He really wasn't where its at<br>

After he took from you everything he could steal.<br>

<br>

How does it feel<br>

How does it feel<br>

To be on your own<br>

With no direction home<br>

Like a complete unknown<br>

Like a rolling stone?<br>

<br>

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people<br>

They're drinkin, thinkin that they got it made<br>

Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things<br>

But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe<br>

You used to be so amused<br>

At napoleon in rags and the language that he used<br>

Go to him now, he calls you, you cant refuse<br>

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose<br>

You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.<br>

<br>

How does it feel<br>

How does it feel<br>

To be on your own<br>

With no direction home<br>

Like a complete unknown<br>

Like a rolling stone?<br>

<BR><BR>
