CleanCut Kid — текст песни (Bob Dylan)





Everybodys asking why he couldnt adjust

Adjust to what, a dream that bust?



They took a clean-cut kid

And they made a killer out of him

Thats what they did



They said whats up is down, they said what isnt is

They put ideas in his head that he thought were his



They took a clean-cut kid

But they made a killer out him

Thats what they did



He was on the baseball team, he was in the marching band

When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand



He was a clean-cut kid

And they made a killer out of him

Thats what they did



He went to church on sunday, he was a boy scout

For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out



He was a clean-cut kid

But they made a killer out him

Thats what they did



They said, listen boy, youre just a pup

They sent to a napalm health spa to shape up



They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills,

A jeep to drive, blood to spill



They said congratulations you got what it takes.

They sent him back into the rat-race without any brakes



They took a clean-cut kid

And they made a killer out him

Thats what they did



He bought the american dream but it put him in debt

Only game he could play was russian roulette



He drank coca-cola, he was eating wonder bread

He ate burger kings, he was well fed



He went to hollywood to see peter otoole

He stole a rolls royce and drove it in a swimming pool



They took a clean-cut kid

But they made a killer out of him

Thats what they did



He couldve sold insurance, owned a restaurant or a bar

He couldve been an accountant or a tennis star



He was wearing boxing gloves, he took a dive one day

Off the golden gate bridge into china bay



His mama walks the floor, his dadddy weeps and moans

They gotta sleep together in a home they dont own



They took a clean-cut kid

And made a killer out of him

Thats what they did



Everybodys asking why he didnt adjust

All he ever wanted was someone he could trust



They took his head and turned it inside out

He never did know what it was all about



He had a steady job, he joined the choir

He never did plan to walk the high wire



They took a clean-cut kid

And they made a killer out him

Thats what they did.
