Rage Against The Machine - Ghost Of Tom Joad Lyrics
Men walkin long the railroad tracksGoin some place, theres no goin backHighway patrol choppers comin up over the ridgeHot soup on a campfire under the bridgeShelter line stretchin round the cornerWelcome to the new world orderFamilies sieepin in their cars in the southwestNo home, no job, no peace, no restThe highway is alive tonightBut nobodys kiddin nobody about where it goesIm sitting down here in the campfire lightSearchin for the ghost of tom joadHe pulls prayer book out of his sleepin bagPreacher lights up a butt and takes a dragWaitin for when the last shall be first and the first shall be lastIn a cardboard box neath the underpassGot a one way ticket to the promised landYou got a hole in your belly and a gun in your handSleeping on a pillow of solid rockBathing in the city aqueductThe highway is alive tonightBut where its headed everybody knowsIm sittin down here in the campfire lightWaitin on the ghost of tom joadNow tom said, mom, wherever theres a cop beatin a guyWherever a hungry new born baby criesWhere theres a fight gainst the blood and hatred in the airLook for me mom Ill be thereWherever theres somebody fightin for a piace to standOr decent job or a helpin handWherever somebodys strugglin to be freeLook in their eyes mom youll see me.The highway is alive tonightBut nobodys kiddin nobody about where it goesIm sitting down here in the campfire lightSearchin for the ghost of tom joad
