\nI said, “I’m feeling kind of rough”
\n“Let me break it to you, son
\nYour shit’s fucked up.”
\nI said, “my shit’s fucked up?”
\nWell, I don’t see how–”
\nHe said, “The shit that used to work–
\nIt won’t work now.”<\/em><\/p>\n
\nNow Im down in it<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI used to know my right from wrong.
\nI used to never be afraid.
\nI used to be somebody<\/em><\/p>\n
\nNow just this hole thats open wide.
\nI used to want it all
\nI used to be somebody<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
\nPeople’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
\nYou thought they were all kiddin’ you
\nYou used to laugh about
\nEverybody that was hangin’ out
\nNow you don’t talk so loud
\nNow you don’t seem so proud
\nAbout having to be scrounging for your next meal.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nHow does it feel
\nTo be without a home
\nLike a complete unknown
\nLike a rolling stone?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
