Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics
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's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God...
-
Its about a kid heading down a bad path... Dylans giving advice in some cases but the firt couple verses foccus primarily on the kid.
-
It seems apparent that this song is a recipe for who to live underground without getting caught. I think of this song as being proto-rap.
