Rage Against The Machine - The Ghost Of Tom Joad

Rage Against The Machine

The Ghost Of Tom Joad

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.

Mirror lyrics:

With the Ghost of Tom Joad.
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
nobody's foolin' nobody is to where it goes
And the highway is alive tonight

You'll see me! (repeat 8 times)
Look in their eyes ma,
Wherever somebody is strugglin' to be free
For a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebodies stuglin' for a place to stand
I'll be there
Look for me ma'
Whereever there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Wherever a hungry new born baby cries
Now Tom Said; "Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guy
