The Ghost Of Tom Joad Lyrics - Renegades - Rage Against The Machine

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

Musicians React To Linkin Park Lead Singer Chester Bennington's Death 

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

Now Tom said; "Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guy 

Wherever a hungry new born baby cries 

Wherever there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air 

Look for me ma' 

I'll be there 

Wherever somebodies strugglin' 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! 

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
