Lyrics for Christmas In Washington by Steve Earle:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Christmas In Washington | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | It's Christmastime in Washington
The Democrats rehearsed
Gettin' into gear for four more
years
Things not gettin' worse
The Republicans drink whiskey neat
And thanked their
lucky stars
They said, 'He cannot seek another term
They'll be no more FDRs'
I
sat home in Tennessee
Staring at the screen
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
And
I'm wonderin' what it means
Chorus:
So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us
now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Maybe he can help you out
Come back Woody Guthrie to us now
I followed in your
footsteps once
Back in my travelin' days
Somewhere I failed to find your trail
Now
I'm stumblin' through the haze
But there's killers on the highway now
And a man can't get
around
So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
Now I'm stuck here in this town
Chorus
There's foxes in the hen house
Cows out in the corn
The unions have been
busted
Their proud red banners torn
To listen to the radio
You'd think that all was
well
But you and me and Cisco know
It's going straight to hell
So come back,
Emma Goldman
Rise up, old Joe Hill
The barracades are goin' up
They cannot break our
will
Come back to us, Malcolm X
And Martin Luther King
We're marching into Selma
As the bells of freedom ring
