Lyrics: Bruce Springsteen: Men walking long the railroad tracks Going someplace, theres no going back Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge Shelter line stretching round the corner Welcome to the new world order Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest No home, no job, no peace, no rest Bruce Springsteen: Well the highway is alive tonight But nobodys kidding nobody about where it goes Im sitting down here in the campfire light Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad Tom Morello: He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last In a cardboard box neath the underpass You got a one-way ticket to the promised land You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock Bathing in the citys aqueduct Yeah! Springsteen and Morello: Well the highway is alive tonight Where its headed everybody knows Im sitting down here in the campfire light Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad Bruce Springsteen: Now Tom said, Mom, wherever theres a cop beating a guy Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries Where theres a fight against the blood and hatred in the air Look for me, Mom, Ill be there Tom Morello: Wherever somebodys fighting for a place to stand Or a decent job or a helping hand Wherever somebodys struggling to be free Look in their eyes, Ma, and youll see me Yeah! Springsteen and Morello: The highway is alive tonight Where its headed everybody knows Im sitting down here in the campfire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad Well the highway is alive tonight But nobodys kidding nobody about where it goes Im sitting down here in the campfire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad With the ghost of old Tom Joad With the ghost of old Tom Joad Blessings Enjoy and Think... https://youtube/watch?v=n-mq0uJ7rlM
