Tekst piosenki
It’s 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
They’ll be no more FDRs'
I sat home in Tennessee
Staring at the screen
With an uneasy feeling in my chest
And I’m wonderin' what it means
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 I’m stumblin' through the haze
But there’s killers on the highway now
And a man can’t get around
So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
Now I’m stuck here in this town
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
There’s 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
You’d think that all was well
But you and me and Cisco know
It’s 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
We’re marching into Selma
As the bells of freedom ring
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
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Jest Boże Narodzenie w Waszyngtonie.
Demokraci
"Gettin' into gear for four more years"
Things not gettin ' worse
Republikanie piją czystą whiskey.
I podziękowali swoim szczęśliwym gwiazdom
Powiedzieli: "nie może szukać innego terminu".
/ Align = "left"/
Siedziałem w domu w Tennessee.
/ Align = "left" /
/ Align = "left" /
And I' m wonderin ' what it means
So come back Woody Guthrie
Wróć do nas.
"Tear your eyes from paradise"
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Może on ci pomoże.
Wróć Woody Guthrie do nas teraz
Kiedyś poszedłem w twoje ślady.
Back in my travelin ' days
Gdzieś, gdzie nie znalazłem twojego śladu.
# Now I 'm stumblin' through the haze #
Ale na autostradzie są zabójcy.
And a man can ' t get around
So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
Utknąłem w tym mieście.
So come back Woody Guthrie
Wróć do nas.
"Tear your eyes from paradise"
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Może on ci pomoże.
Wróć Woody Guthrie do nas teraz
W kurniku są lisy.
Cows out in the corn
Związki zostały rozbite.
Ich dumne czerwone sztandary rozdarte
To listen to the radio
Myślisz, że wszystko jest w porządku?
Ale ty, ja i Cisco wiemy
It ' s going straight to hell
Więc wróć, Emmo Goldman.
Rise up, old Joe Hill
The barracades are goin ' up
Nie mogą złamać naszej woli.
Wróć do nas, Malcolmie X
Martin Luther King
Maszerujemy do Selmy.
As the bells of freedom ring
So come back Woody Guthrie
Wróć do nas.
"Tear your eyes from paradise"
And rise again somehow
If you run into Jesus
Może on ci pomoże.
Wróć Woody Guthrie do nas teraz
