Midnight In The City Of Destruction Lyrics - The Fabled City - Tom Morello

There's an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway 

And years ago that shed collapsed and fell 

Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there 

I saved him, maybe he saved me as well 

Now he's gone and I think I've come undone 

And it's midnight in the city of destruction 

There's music in the air and sweet abandon 

They're singin' cross the farm in the evening breeze 

But there's someone in the rows who's unwanted 

And now they've cut the faithful from the trees 

And the bulldozers move in one by one 

It's midnight in the city of destruction

I lost my guitar, my home, my hope and my good fortune 

I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend 

I pray that God himself will come and drown the president 

If the levees break again 

Now we're standin' at the crossroads waitin' for instruction 

And its midnight in the city of destruction

There's a secret prison somewhere south of 60 

And in that secret prison there's a secret cell 

And the prisoner's bound and burned, blinded and beaten 

Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well 

Turn out the lights 'cause for one night that's enough, son 

It's midnight in the city of destruction
