Bob Dylan - disease of conceit

노래는 자존심, 즉 '자기 과시'가 수많은 사람들에게 고통, 상실, 심리적 압박을 가져온다는 내용을 담고 있다
자존심은 마음을 아프게 하고 삶을 지배하며, 결국 사람들을 무기력하게 만든다
많은 이들이 이러한 자존심의 문제로 인해 우는 상황을 그림으로 보여준다

There’s a whole lot of people suffering tonight
From the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people struggling tonight
From the disease of conceit
Comes right down the highway
Straight down the line
Rips into your senses
Through your body and your mind
Nothing about it that’s sweet
The disease of conceit
There’s a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight
From the disease of conceit
Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight
From the disease of conceit
Steps into your room
Eats your soul
Over your senses
You have no control
Ain’t nothing too discreet
About the disease of conceit
There’s a whole lot of people dying tonight
From the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people crying tonight
From the disease of conceit
Comes right out of nowhere
And you’re down for the count
From the outside world
The pressure will mount
Turn you into a piece of meat
The disease of conceit
