Rage Against The Machine - The Ghost Of Tom Joad слова песни
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.
