Slow Train — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted

Cant help but wonder whats happenin to my companions,

Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost itll take to bring

Down

All their earthly principles theyre gonna have to abandon?

Theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.



I had a woman down in alabama,

She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic,

She said, "boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out,

You could die down here, be just another accident statistic."

Theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.



All that foreign oil controlling american soil,

Look around you, its just bound to make you embarrassed.

Sheiks walkin around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings,

Deciding americas future from amsterdam and to paris

And theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.



Mans ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they dont apply no more,

You cant rely no more to be standin around waitin

In the home of the brave, jefferson turnin over in his grave,

Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate satan

And theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.



Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters,

Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition

But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,

All non-believers and men stealers talkin in the name of religion

And theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.



People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting

Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it.

They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions,

They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to

Live it. theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.



Well, my baby went to illinois with some bad-talkin boy she could destroy

A real suicide case, but there was nothin I could do to stop it,

I dont care about economy, I dont care about astronomy

But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets,

Theres a slow, slow train comin up around the bend.
