Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman

For the fired auto workers
Who were twisted, tricked and robbed
To the peasant in Guatemala
In a sweatshop got your job
And she can't feed her family
On the pennies that she makes
Meanwhile the crime rate's rising
Up and down the Great Lake states
Like vegetables left in the field
The signatures smell rotten
On the contracts and the deeds
That push the race down to the bottom
As they load the rubber bullets
As they fire another round
I'm heading into the tear gas
Dig in man, hold your ground
For Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez
Who fought in their own time
For our brothers and our sisters
Up and down that picket line
For the unnamed and unnumbered
Who struggle brave and long
For the union men and women
Standing up and standing strong
Si nos quedemos
Juntos vamos a ganar? Si !
Hit em where it hurts
And bite the hand that feeds
You might get one to three
Or probation and a fine
But I know where I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be right on that front line
For Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez
Who fought in their own time
For our brothers and our sisters
Up and down that picket line
For the unnamed and unnumbered
Who struggle brave and long
For the union men and women
Standing up and standing strong
Now dirty scabs will cross the line
While others stand aside and look
But ain't nobody never got nothin'
That didn't raise their voice and push
Like the steel worker in Ohio
The miner in West Virginia
The teacher in Chicago
Janitor in Mississippi
From the sweatshops of L.A.
To the fields of Mission Flats
There's a thunder cloud exploding
And I'm free at last
Like Joe Hill and Caesar Chavez
Who fought in their own time
Like our brothers and our sisters
Up and down that picket line
Like the unnamed and unnumbered
Who struggle brave and long
Like the union men and women
Standing up and standing strong

No one knows who gave the orders
No one asks about the crime
No one looks behind the curtain
No one questions why
The only time we've got
Is right about now
I cross my heart
I take the vow
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
I'm with you now
Until the end
Tonight's the test
Tonight's the time
I am the punishment
That fits the crime
I'll break the bricks
I'll pick the locks
I ain't got nothin'
But I'll give what I got
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
I'm with you now
Until the end
Ten trials whose outcomes
All fixed from the start
Nine judges sitting counting
Their money in the dark
Eight towers of iron
Surround the desert town
On a cold December morning
Seven martyrs knocked them down
Four fathers still waiting
For their five sons to come home
Six mothers who know better
And accept that they're gone
Four years I've been hunted
Still I breathe free
Three times I shot the sheriff
And did not spare the deputy
Two prayers I'm praying
Until we're together
One promise I'm keeping
Tonight and forever
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
I'm with you now
Until the end

Me and Javi
Shouted slogans in Spanish
Like it was our world to win
Then they moved the plant
Down to Ojeda
Time to bite your tongue again
I've seen the fabled city
And its streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs 'round it
And its iron gate is closed
What ain't right ain't right
He told me
But something else passed behind his eyes
Now he's downtown on his knees
Washing floors for somebody
And quietly biding his time
I've seen the fabled city
And its streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs round it
And its iron gate is closed
At the gas station
On Sunset and Crescent
I met an angel sad and old
She lived in the alley
Behind the market
In the shadows maybe hidden from the Lord
And for a dollar
She sang a song
That sounded more like a prayer
A wish that her dead mother and father
Couldn't look down and see her there
I've seen the fabled city
And its streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs round it
And its iron gate is closed
On the wire outside my window
There sit 100 swallows
And I suspect that if one flew
The 99 would follow

Stone climbs together
She cashed in and cut the tether
She's gone, it's no mistake
The angels have come too late
They've come too late
In my hands I hold the proof
That's something sure to hit you
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Don't let 'em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
Flood waters raise the ramparts
I'll meet you now, wherever you are
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes
Then she turned off her headlights
Cranked the radio, ran the red lights
Never found the missing bride
Windows dark, but they're all inside
They're all inside...
In my hands, I hold the proof
That's something sure to hit you
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Don't let 'em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
Flood waters raise the ramparts
I'll meet you now, wherever you are
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes
A general without an army
I stopped looking, then they found me
On the hill, a horn is blowin'
It's over man, you just don't know it
That's something sure to hit you
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Don't let 'em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
Flood waters raise the ramparts
I'll meet you now, wherever you are
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes
Climb backward through the rec room
A jungle of thieves to get through
Time's up, how long you gonna waste?
Whatever it takes.
So Jack, grab paper and pen
I'll say it once, won't say it again
Loosen the core until it shakes
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes

Released from reason.
Alive with pain.
The act has changed, the play's the same.
As he and his ministers convergered,
I peaked out from behind the well.
And, oh, how I was suprised to learn
the Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the King of Hell.
The Devil is not the King of Hell.
A violent dance on slippery stones
The lines gone dead
We're all alone
The Devil is not the King of Hell
Smelling victory
The engine hums
Off in the distace they beat the drums
Admist the blood and rubble I look for souvenirs to sell
And, oh, how I was suprised to learn the Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the King of Hell
A violent dance on slippery stones
The lines gone dead
We're all alone
The Devil is not the King of Hell
Black was the mark, black was the mark. Black was the mark laid on Kane.
Black was the list, black was the list. Black was the list with our names.
Black was the mark, black was the mark. Black was the mark laid on Kane.
Black was the list, black was the list. Black was the list with our names.
The Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the King of Hell
A violent dance on slippery stones
The line's gone dead
We're all alone
The Devil is not the King of Hell
Tonight I'm gonna do something I've never done before
I'm gonna find out what the screamings about on the other side of that door
So, don't you bother calling, there ain't nobody home
Sometimes we've gotta stand together, sometimes alone.
The Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the king of Hell
A violent dance on slippery stones
The lines gone dead
we're all alone
The Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the King of Hell
The Devil is not the King of Hell
A violent dance on slippery stones
The line's gone dead
The line's gone dead
The line's gone dead
The line's gone dead
The line's gone dead
The Devil is not the King of Hell.

She want him, want him not to go
He said I, I've got to go
She whispered I, I love you so
He said I, I've got to go
[ Chorus ]
Night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the minds and fields
Night falls on the just and unjust
Night falls
In the next town there's trouble, needs straightening out
There's dynamite under the porch
Me and my four kids are hungry
A man's yelling through the screen door
[ Chorus ]
All they can in the morning
Shoulder to shoulder, end to end
You don't have to speak
You just have to stand
Steve, Sud and dad there on the bridge
Local three ninety three was born
A black and white picture of the colon of the lord
The dam was broken, the river comes
[ Chorus ]
She want him, want him not go
He said I, I've got to go
She whispered I, I love you so
Night falls
Night falls

Stand back storm troopers attack
On a bright may-day man
I must be gettin' soft
I dunno, what do you think mister?
Looks like ten fat pigs in a nine pig trough
Die Diediedie,
Diediedie, diediedie, (Hey, Hey!)
Die diediedie,
And the lights are on in Spidertown
Sittin' back of the class
Iron chains, lead weights, taught rope,
holdin' down my will.
I dunno, what do you think mister?
I say we do anything just to take that hill.
Hey!
Die Diediedie,
Diediedie, diediedie, (Hey, Hey!)
Die diediedie,
And the lights are on in Spidertown
The sky is falling,
falling down.
The sky is falling down.
The world stoped turning,
turning round.
The world stops turning round,
And the lights are on in Spidertown
Silent Night and the wind crashes right,
Put a wig on the heiress
Rob the bank and pray.
No I dunno, what do you think mister?
Don't do as I do, just do as I say!
Die Diediedie,
Diediedie, diediedie, (Hey, Hey!)
Die diediedie,
And the lights are on in Spidertown
Yeah the lights are on is Spidertown
Hey!

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 it’s 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

Innocence and suffering
Loneliness and grace
Pain and love and beauty
Laughter death and faith
Where the rising fortune
Meets the setting sun
I'm afraid my friend when one is left
It's just the same as none
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and mend you and sanctify you
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
And follow you down love
I'm right behind you
God make her road straight
God make her road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
The textbook's on the table
The radio's on the shelf
And thank you for the offer
But I'll sing this one myself
In reverential silence
The crowd sat in the pews
I climbed and climbed for hours
But oh my what a view
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and mend you and sanctify you
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
And follow you down love
I'm right behind you
God make her road straight
God make her road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
I'm surprised you didn't come forward
When the cops dragged me away
There's a museum in the Netherlands
I hope to see again someday
There's a painting of a woman
Gathering wood it’s almost dark
In a world bereft of meaning
There's a flicker in the hearth
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and mend you, sanctify you
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
And follow you down love
I'm right behind you
And follow you down love
I'm right behind you
And follow you down love
I'm right behind you
God make her road straight
God make her road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
God make her road straight
God make her road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through

I've been tearing
And I've been torn
The temple steps
Are smooth and warm
What Juda's been doing
There ain't no knowing
On the olive vines
Something different is growing
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
C'mon, let's push on through
No, let's go around
Lazarus on down
One eyed crow
Tapping on a windowpane
Little boy raised a cup
In cyaphast's name
In the potter's field
Blood beneath the tree
That money's gone son
What's left, you owe me
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
C'mon, let's push on through
No, man, let's turn around
Lazarus on down
Sound of thunder
Smell of a burnin' oil
What's that movin' beneath the soil
The street lights out
Dark shape on the ground
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
Lazarus on down
Is that hope
In the shepherd's eyes?
Or just another
Little dark surprise?
I'm just like you, dad
Thin and cold
If you didn't know it
Well, now you know

With downcast eyes the multitudes set
as the cattle cars pulled along the rusty tracks
one raised his hand in the fading light
said excuse me sir this doesn't seem right
and now he's gone like whispers gone like rain
gone like the faithful while the faithless remain
gone like the stone the builder refused
gone and overdue
There's a river in Texas with a strong undertow
no one crosses it to freedom, no one pans for gold
its waters are clear but its waters are cold
its current is swift and no one knows where it goes
it's just gone like whispers gone like rain
gone like the faithful while the faithless remain
gone like the stone the builder refused
gone and overdue
gone and overdue
[harmonica solo]
When a cool desert don't appear on no map
coyote's scream rips the night in half
he hears the devil coming
footsteps on the path
so he chews off his own leg to get out of the trap
and he's gone like whispers gone like rain
gone like the faithful while the faithless remain
gone like the stone the builder refused
gone and overdue
gone and overdue

Sometimes they'll tell you to just sit still
When you know that it's time to run
Sometimes they'll tell you it's all over
When you're sure that it's just begun
[ Chorus ]
The iron wheel slowly spins around
It takes you from the cradle till you're 6 feet underground
You push and pull against it
But you ride it till it's through
And those who spin the wheel
Will those fuckers ride it too?
Sometimes they'll tell you to move along
When you're sure you should stand and fight
Sometimes they'll tell you that you're a lucky a man
But the numbers they don't add up right
[ Chorus ]
The good wife rides the wheel
As they use you slip away
T.V. preacher rides the wheel
As he leads the flock astray
Lady justice rides the wheel
But her balance is unsure
Cause the truth that lies in pieces
Scattered on the news room floor
Sometimes they'll tell you to just let go
When you're sure you should hold on tight
Sometimes they'll tell you your time will never come
When you're sure that your time's come tonight
[ Chorus ]

I counted to one hundred, I kept losing track
I wrote a hundred letters, no one wrote back
I told a hundred stories, and all of them got twisted
I sang a hundreds songs, nobody listened.
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power.
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Ain't a shade of difference
'tween the hills and the cowards
Baby, you've got to rise to power.
Forced confessions and coming attractions
Delusions of grandeur split into factions
A silent, dark Camelot, a kingdom gray and black
A dull empty heaven
A strong leader's hand.
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise to power.
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
You're down on your knees, pulling up the flowers
Baby, you've got to rise to power.
No holy water can wash me clean
No angel of mercy to hear my screams
Into your embrace, I'm ever driven
And in your arms, unforgiven.
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
Baby, you've got to rise power
You've got to rise to power
Rise to power
The whole world's watching, there's a gunman in the tower
Baby, you've got to rise to power.

I am red I am black I am city born
Mama got scared went far from home
I am a faceless nameless right or wrong
And I feel this hopeless in my song
It begins tonight
Stage with a .. angels ..
And a cross of puzzle of stolen .
I am alive because the love of God
Let’s move tonight and get the throne
I call the lights
Oh Lord Lord it begins tonight
Oh Lord Lord it begins tonight
Oh Lord Lord it begins tonight
. ..clicks open eye come alive
Oh Lord it begins tonight
Out of the rules what that be
Just when you told me I will never find a thing
I see all the .. coming down
I see all my .. man I ain’t listening
Starting moving .. a bottle of whisky and a .. of blood
I work my way to the see
To all our dead and all our free
I call the lights
Oh Lord Lord it begins tonight
Oh Lord Lord it begins tonight
Oh Lord Lord it begins tonight
. ..clicks open eye come alive
Oh Lord it begins tonight
