| | | Artist: | Rage Against The Machine |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Ghost Of Tom Joad | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 256 | | | | Lyrics: | Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' some place, there's no goin' back
Highway
Patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter
line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sIeepin' in their
cars in the southwest
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
The highway is alive
tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the
campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls prayer book out of his
sleepin' bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be
first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one way
ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
sleeping
on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive
tonight
But where It's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire
light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom Said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin'
a guy
Wherever a hungry new born baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and
hatred in the air
Look for me mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a
pIace to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be
free
Look in their eyes mom you'll see me."
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's
kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin'
for the ghost of Tom Joad | | | |
