Jose Gonzalez - The ghost of Tom Joad

Tekst :

Men walkin long the railroad tracks
Goin someplace there s no goin back
Highway patrol choppers comin up over the bridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest

Refrain: The highway is alive tonight
But nobody s kiddin nobody about where it goes
I m sittin down here in the campfire light
Searchin for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleepin on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin in the city aqueduct

Refrain

Now tom said mom, wherever there s a cop beatin a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there s a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me mom I ll be there
Wherever there s somebody fightin for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helpin hand
Wherever somebody s strugglin to be free
Look in their eyes mom you ll see me.

    Under the western stars

    Paint the stars in the sky
    On the ceiling above our bed
    Roll through the night with your blood
    Beating hard like a drum inside my head

    Paint the stars in the sky
    That were shining on the night we met
    If we can do this then we can do anything

    Throw the clothes in a pile...

    Drop me off in harlem

    Drop me off in Harlem,
    any place in Harlem,
    There s someone waiting there
    who makes it seem like
    Heaven up in Harlem.

    I don t want your Dixie,
    you can keep your Dixie,
    there s no one down in Dixie who...

    To nie przypadek

    [Tymi]
    Białostockie podwórka - Koma, tam się zaczęło
    Deficyt na perspektywy i wreszcie przełom
    Jesteśmy tutaj, to nie przypadku dzieło
    Twierdzili, że ten rap musi umrzeć jak Romeo
    To nie minęło, dziś silniejszy po sukcesach
    Każdego dnia pamiętam o priorytetach
    Próbuje wygrać o...

    Czy te oczy mogą kłamać

    A gdy się zejdą, raz i drugi,
    kobieta po przejściach, mężczyzna z przeszłością,
    bardzo się męczą, męczą przez czas długi,
    co zrobić, co zrobić z tą miłością?
    On już je widział, on zna te dziewczyny,
    z poszarpanymi nerwami, co wracają nad ranem nie same,

    Burning down

    If it takes them so long, so long to say yes, why don t they just say no
    We don t need anyone to be put to the test, why don t they let us be
    Chorus:
    Livin for the right to be, livin for...
