Rainy Day Women #121 and 35
-—Bob Dylan (1965)

Well, they’ll stone you and say that it’s the end
Then they’ll stone you and then they’ll come back again
They’ll stone you when you’re riding in your car
They’ll stone you when you’re playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned. Alright.

Well, they’ll stone you when you walk all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
They’ll stone you and then say you are brave
They’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned.

Wherever there are professional politicians there will be corruption.

Well, that band sounded like they were at least tipsy. One step up from the Hooterville Band.
