:28:02
And so I think he...
:28:04
I think he couldn't have written songs
like the ones he wrote...

:28:07
if he didn't feel generally,
I think, sort of, for the underdog.

:28:12
But I think that he didn't want to have
to be the guy people were going to go to.

:28:17
I mean, the times then were cut and dry.
:28:19
You were either for the war
or you were against it.

:28:21
You either hated niggers or, you know,
you supported King.

:28:26
And you were forced to take a side.
:28:36
Johnny's in a basement
Mixing up the medicine

:28:38
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government

:28:41
The man in the trench coat
badge out, laid off

:28:44
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off

:28:46
Look out kid
It's something you did

:28:49
God knows when
But you're doing it again

:28:51
You better duck down the alleyway
:28:53
Looking for a new friend
:28:54
The man in the coon-skin cap
In a pig pen

:28:56
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

:29:05
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot

:29:08
Talking that the heat put
plants in the bed but

:29:10
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say

:29:13
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.

:29:15
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did

:29:18
Walk on your tiptoes
Don't tie no dose

:29:20
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose

:29:23
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes

:29:26
You don't need a weather man
to know which way the wind blows

:29:30
Words have their own meaning,
or they have different meanings...

:29:32
and words change their meaning.
:29:34
Words that meant something
10 years ago don't mean that now.

:29:37
They mean something else.
:29:38
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schooling

:29:40
And they put you on the day shift
:29:42
Look out kid
They keep it all hid

:29:44
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle

:29:47
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals

:29:50
Don't want to be a bum
You better chew gum

:29:52
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

:29:57
Subterranean Homesick Blues.
I mean...

:29:59
I don't think I would have wanted to do it
all by myself.
