Iron Wheel Lyrics - The Fabled City - Tom Morello

Sometimes they'll tell you to just sit still 

When you know that it's time to run 

Sometimes they'll tell you it's all over 

When youre sure that its just begun 

The iron wheel slowly spins around 

It takes you from the cradle 

'Til you're six feet underground 

You can push and pull against it 

But you'll ride it 'til it's through 

And those who spin the wheel 

Well those fuckers ride it too 

Sometimes they'll tell you to move along 

When you're sure you should stand and fight 

Sometimes they'll tell you you're a lucky man 

But the numbers they don't add up right

The iron wheel slowly spins around 

It takes you from the cradle 

'Til you're six feet underground 

You can push and pull against it 

But youll ride it 'til its through 

And those who spin the wheel 

Well those fuckers ride it too 

The good wife rides the wheel 

As the years just slip away 

T.V. preacher rides the wheel 

As he leads the flock astray 

Lady Justice rides the wheel 

But her balance is unsure 

Cause the truth it lies in pieces 

Scattered on the newsroom floor 

Photos 

Sometimes they'll tell you to just let go 

When you're sure you should hold on tight 

Sometimes they'll tell you your time 

Will never come 

When you're sure that your time's come tonight 

The iron wheel slowly spins around 

It takes you from the cradle 

'Til you're six feet underground 

You can push and pull against it 

But you'll ride it 'til it's through 

And those who spin the wheel 

Well those fuckers ride it too
