Christmas in Washington — текст песни (Steve Earle)





Its christmastime in washington

The democrats rehearsed

Gettin into gear for four more years

Things not gettin worse

The republicans drink whiskey neat

And thanked their lucky stars

They said, he cannot seek another term

Theyll be no more fdrs



I sat home in tennessee

Staring at the screen

With an uneasy feeling in my chest

And Im wonderin what it means



Chorus:

So come back woody guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow

If you run into jesus

Maybe he can help you out

Come back woody guthrie to us now



I followed in your footsteps once

Back in my travelin days

Somewhere I failed to find your trail

Now Im stumblin through the haze

But theres killers on the highway now

And a man cant get around

So I sold my soul for wheels that roll

Now Im stuck here in this town



Chorus



Theres foxes in the hen house

Cows out in the corn

The unions have been busted

Their proud red banners torn

To listen to the radio

Youd think that all was well

But you and me and cisco know

Its going straight to hell



So come back, emma goldman

Rise up, old joe hill

The barracades are goin up

They cannot break our will

Come back to us, malcolm x

And martin luther king

Were marching into selma

As the bells of freedom ring



Chorus
