Clean-cut kid

par Bob Dylan

lyricscopy.com
Everybody wants to know why he couldn´t adjust
Adjust to what, a dream that bust?

He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him
That´s what they did

They said what´s up is down, they said what isn´t is
They put ideas in his head he thought were his

He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him
That´s 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
But they made a killer out of him
That´s 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 of him
That´s what they did

They said, “Listen boy, you´re just a pup”
They sent him 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

He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him
That´s what they did

He bought the American dream but it put him in debt
The only game he could play was Russian roulette

He drank Coca-Cola, he was eating Wonder Bread
Ate Burger Kings, he was well fed

He went to Hollywood to see Peter O´Toole
He stole a Rolls-Royce and drove it in a swimming pool

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That´s what they did

He could´ve sold insurance, owned a restaurant or bar
Could´ve been an accountant or a tennis star

He was wearing boxing gloves, took a dive one day
Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay

His mama walks the floor, his daddy weeps and moans
They gotta sleep together in a home they don´t own

They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him
That´s what they did

Well, everybody´s asking why he couldn´t adjust
All he ever wanted was somebody to 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 of him
That´s what they did
