"I got 99 problems, but a b*&^%$ ain't one!"

 

+10 on the Dylan...

Insurmountable unprotection
three days to our resurrection
we all now have a slight inflection
brought forth by mass infection

social disease, malnourished by our bliss
ain't it sad to see life come to this
like a staggering drunk in need of a kiss
like a dying junkie in need of a fix

with life, Imight take my chances...
...but never with you.

A lady down the road once gave me, a good piece of advice
she said, "If it don't work the first time, you always got to try **** twice."
"Then don't stop there, don't shoot 'till you see the whites of their eyes...
...put them right back in their place, cut them, right back down to size."

with you, I might take my chances...
but never with me.

when the marching band stops playin'
when you grow old and your hair starts grayin'
when all your odds and ends start frayin'
pretty soon again, you all will again start prayin'

in life, we must take our chances-
'cause thats what it's about.

-one of my songs

 

"There must be some kinda way out of here,"
Said the Joker to the Thief,
"There'stoo much confusion,
I can't get no relief.

"Business men, they drink my wine;
Plowmen dig my earth.
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited,"
The Thief he kindly spoke.
"There are many here among us
Who feel life is but a joke.

"But you and I, we've been here before;
And this is not our fate.
So let us not talk falsely now,
The hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
And all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too.

Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl.

Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower

 

There is a House in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only things a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he'll be satisfied
Is when he'son adrunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well I've got one foot on the platform
And one foot on the train
I'm headed back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a House in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
