The Ghost of Tom Joad (汤姆周的灵魂) - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]

Men walking 'long the railroad tracks[00:00:04]

Going someplace and there's no going back[00:00:16]

Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge[00:00:22]

Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge[00:00:28]

Shelter line stretching 'round the corner[00:00:33]

Welcome to the new world order[00:00:37]

Families sleeping in their cars in the southwest[00:00:43]

No home, no job, no peace, no rest[00:00:48]

Well the highway is alive tonight[00:00:54]

But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes[00:00:59]

I'm sitting down here in the campfire light[00:01:05]

Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad[00:01:09]

He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag[00:01:15]

Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag[00:01:19]

Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last[00:01:24]

In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass[00:01:29]

Got a one-way ticket to the promised land[00:01:34]

You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand[00:01:39]

Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock[00:01:45]

Bathing in the city aqueduct[00:01:50]

And the highway is alive tonight[00:01:55]

Where it's headed everybody knows[00:02:01]

I'm sitting down here in the campfire light[00:02:06]

Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad[00:02:11]

Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy[00:02:16]

Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries[00:02:36]

Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air[00:02:42]

Look for me, Mom, I'll be there[00:02:46]

Where there's somebody fighting for a place to stand[00:02:53]

Or a decent job or a helping hand[00:02:57]

Wherever somebody's struggling to be free[00:03:03]

Look in their eyes, Mom, you'll see me"[00:03:08]

The highway is alive tonight[00:03:13]

But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes[00:03:18]

I'm sitting down here in the campfire light[00:03:21]

With the ghost of old Tom Joad[00:03:28]
