"Meaning of Existence, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" 是由Bob Dylan在1975年的一首歌曲。以下是這首歌的部分歌詞:
Meaning of existence, fear and loathing
In the middle of the desert, with nowhere to go
And I'm tired of looking for answers
But I'm still trying to find them
You know it's funny how the things you want to avoid
Come around and bite you in the ass
But you're not going to be a victim
And you're not going to cry about it
It's a dirty world, and it ain't getting any cleaner
So get off your knees, there's no use in praying
If you don't believe, it won't make any difference
Get a life, make some money
I'm feeling the heat of the sun
It's beating down on me like a hammer
I don't know what I'm doing here anymore
I'm lost in a crowd of strangers
The meaning of existence, fear and loathing
It's all around me, it's everywhere I look
But I won't let it get me down
I won't let it get me down today
So take a deep breath and be patient
Because this is what life is all about
The only thing you can rely on
Is change, so be ready for it
If you can make it through today, then tomorrow might be better
Just remember to laugh a little bit more than you cry
And that's the meaning of existence, fear and loathing
In the middle of the desert, with nowhere to go.
