Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics

Cover art for Subterranean Homesick Blues lyrics by Bob Dylan

To me: “Look out kid, they keep it all hid” is the defining phrase of the song. The world does not work the way you have been conditioned to believe. The politicians, the police, the military, the intel agencies, big business, and so on, are all deeply corrupt. These corrupt entities will endless harass, and punish, those committing victimless "crimes." All the stuff you have been taught the system being good and honest, about how to be success, all that stuff is crap.
