Letra de The Ghost of Tom Joad
Man walks along the railroad track He's goin' some place and there's no turnin' back The highway patrol chopper comin' up over the ridge Man sleeps by a campfire under the bridgeThe 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 JoadHe 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 underpassWith 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 His bathin' in the cities aqueducts (rar)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 JoadAnd Tom said, Ma, "Wherever you seen 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 MaYou'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 (Rar, oh, oh)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
