| | | Artist: | Rage Against The Machine |
| | Album: | Renegades | | Track: | The Ghost Of Tom Joad | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 235 | | | | Lyrics: | Man walks along the railroad track
He's Goin' some place, there's no turnin' back
The
Highway Patrol chopper comin' up over the ridge
Man sleeps by a campfire under the
bridge
The shelter line stretchin' around the corner
Welcome to the New World
Order
Families sleepin' in their cars out in the Southwest
No job, no home, no peace, no
rest, NO REST!
And The highway is alive tonight
Nobody's foolin' nobody is to where
it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the Ghost of Tom
Joad
He pulls his prayer book out of a sleepin' bag
The preacher lights up a butt
and takes a drag
He's waitin' for the time when the last shall be first and the first shall be
last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
With a one way ticket to the promised
land
With a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Lookin' for a pillow of solid
rock
Bathin' in the cities' aqueducts
And The highway is alive tonight
Nobody's
foolin' nobody is to where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the
Ghost of old Tom Joad
Guitar Solo
Now Tom Said; "Ma, whenever ya see a cop
beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry new born baby cries
Whereever there's a fight against the
blood and hatred in the air
Look for me ma'
I'll be there
Wherever somebodies
stuglin' for a place to stand
For a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody is
strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes ma,
You'll see me! (repeat 8
times)
And the highway is alive tonight
nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it
goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the Ghost of Tom Joad | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
