Fabled City Lyrics - The Fabled City - Tom Morello

Me and Javier shouted slogan in Spanish 

Like it was our world to win 

Then they moved the plant down Ojada 

Time to bite you tongue again 

*chorus* 

I've seen the fabled city. 

Its streets are paved with gold. 

But an iron fence runs 'round it 

and its iron gate is closed.

What ain't right ain't right he told me. 

But something else passed behind his eyes. 

Now he's downtown on his knees, 

washin' floors for somebody 

And he's quietly biting his toungue 

*chorus* 

Ha! 

At the gas station on sunset and crescent, 

I met and angel sad and old. 

She lived in the alley behind the market 

in the shadows maybe hidden from the Lord. 

And for a dollar she sang a song 

that sounded more like a prayer 

A wish that her dead mother and father 

couldn't look down and see her there. 

*chorus* 

Photos 

On the wire outside my window, 

there sit one hundred swallows. 

And I suspect that if one flew, 

then ninety nine would follow
