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 thefirst 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 theair
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
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

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
