Bob Dylan - Dignity (Alternate Version) Lyrics

Fat man lookin' into shining steel
Thin man lookin' at his last meal
Hollow man lookin' in a cotton field
For dignity

Wise man lookin' at a blade of grass
Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin' through painted glass
For dignity

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the last to leave
Went into the cities into the towns
To land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' every where I know
Askin' the cops where ever I go
Have you seen dignity?

Blind man breakin' out of a trance
Puts both his hands into the pockets of chance
Hopin' to find one circumstance
Of dignity

Stranger stares down into the light
From a platinum window in the Mexican night
Searchin' every blood suckin' thing in sight
For dignity

I went down where the vultures feed
Would have gone deeper but there wasn't any need
Through the tongues of angels to the tongues of men
They all sounded no difference to me

Soul of a nation is under the knife
Death is standing in the doorway of life
In the next room a man fightin' with his wife
Over dignity
