If one wants some Buddhist (or multi-religious) content in Dylan, how about:

  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 of 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.

and so on.
