Rage Against The Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad слова песни
[Note: cover of Bruce Springstein`s "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" with lyric changes][Note: You`ll hear echoes time from time][Zack de la Rocha]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 hope, no peace, no rest...NO REST!![Chorus]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 JoadHe 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..[Chorus]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 JoadNow Tom said, "MaWhenever ya see a cop beatin` a guy..Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries..Wherever there`s a fight against the blood and hatred in the air..Look for me ma`, I`ll be thereWherever somebody`s 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!You`ll see me!You`ll see me!!YOU`LL SEE ME!!YOU`LL SEE ME!!YOU`LL SEE ME!!YOU`LL SEE ME!!YOU`LL SEE ME!!YOU`LL SEE ME!![Chorus]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..
