Once upon a time, you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your
prime, didnt ya?
    --- I see dressed, not like clothes, but as feelings and belief...At
one time we all were in fantasy land, and had everything easy, and lived
an easy life.  We were able to look at all those people who had life
easy, and never struggled and were able to lend them a hand.

People Called, said beware doll you are bound to fall, you thought they
were all kiddin' ya
    Admit it life has been good to all of us, but that wont last...
Dylan is telling me that things are gonna get rough and hard for
me...but i dont and cant believe it yet.

You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out, now you dont
talk so loud, now u dont seem so proud.
    There was a time i used to laugh at people too who just sat around
and talked..What a waste of time i though..but now look at me(us) thats
what we do and we enjoy it...So its weird how times change our minds and
ideas

About having to be scrounging your next meal.
    Face it....for most of us we are gonna have to make things last
longer, and work harder to surive w/ out our parents next year

How does it feel, to be out on our own with no direction home, a
complete unknown, like a rolling stone?
    We dont have homes anymore...our HS home is gone, we are leaving our
family's home..and not untill we leave college will we be able to find
one.. We will all be along again...and next year no one will know  who
were are.

    Your going to the finest school, all rite Mr. lonely but u know you
only get juiced to it
    Notre Dame

Nobody's every taught you how to live out on the st. on how your gonna
have to get used to it
    I have no idea how to live by myself...Im  gonna get eaten alive on
my own and am in trouble, but thats life and i need to adjust.

You say u never compromise, with the mystery tramps, but now u realize
that he's not selling allabyes, as u stand in the vaccums of his eyes.
    I am stubborn and i dont compromise easily at all..but in life I
have to..even w/ people i dont know.. And they wont buy my excuses, and
I shouldnt by their's.

Asking do u want to make a deal?
    Time to trade...one life for the next

You never turned around to see the frowns, on the juggles and clowns
when they all did tricks for you
    someone was their to cheer you up and make u feel better, but u
didnt realize they deep down, they were the ones who needed to be
cheered up...What we are on the outside doesnt always reflect who were
are on the inside.

You never understood that it aint no good, you shouldnt let others get
your kicks for you
    See above
You used to ride on your chrome horse w/ your diplomats, who carried on
his should a siasme cat, aint it hard when u discovered that he really
wasnt where its at
      U made friends w/ people who u thought were cool.  They tried to
make everything better for you, but what a shock?? they dont know
anything, and dont understand it either. They talk like they
understand..but THEY DONT.

After he took everything he could steal
    These friends lied to you, and hurt you. They took away stuff u
need..you innocence, your thinking, your ideas, EVERYTHING they could
steal

Princess on the steeple, and all the pretty people drinkin' thinkin'
that they got it made
    We are all princes now, we have everything..but times change..and
now we dont.  Only by "drinking" ----not getting wasted..but being in
that state--- will things be better..away from reality.

Exchangeing all precious things, you better take a diamond ring and pawn
it babe.
    What is precious?>? Not material goods..how bout inside feeling and
talents and who we are. We are trying to trade away ourselves to
others....but we all better grab the part of us that we admire most..and
save it for another time....thats why i dont play chess anymore...coz i
dont need it now..BUT I WILL LATEr

You used to be so amused, at Napolean in rags and the language he used,
when he calls you cant refuse
    Evil people, using foul language, talking dirty...admit it..this
amsued us early..and we all wanted to be like that at one point.  I
did...No it is too late..we are going there..we are becoming part of
this culture and we cant stop it..oh gawd help us all

WHEN U AINT GOT NOTHING U GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
    HELL YEA

your invisible now, u got no secrets to conceal
    yes we all are...everyone knows me and everything they want to
know... There no mysteries too me..and if anyone wants to know
anything..just ask me and i talke
