Would one of you care to take a stab at what this line means?
"And passed from man to man, a wanton child to dead to care
That each would find his pleasure as he might"
I find it difficult to explain or to attribute to any sort of hidden meaning.

This is an example of lyrics from the 1970s which are not quite socially acceptable anymore.

In the context of a girl or woman, wanton would mean slut. They had a teenage slut, likely on drugs and/or previously abused to the point that she was too dead to the world to care what was done with her, and they just passed her from one to the other doing what they liked with her.

I understand this lyric to describe one last night of unrestrained debauchery (a final outrage).
