Lyrics
Hey Woody Guthrie
I wish you could see
How the highways roll by our doors
Internet highways
Subways, skyways
But nobody's hitchin' no more
When you were ramblin'
Hard times a gamblin'
With miners and migrants of old
You walked the line
You spoke your mind
Tellin' stories that had to be told
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
We could sure use you once more
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
The big dogs are back at the door
The pastures are plenty
They're not seen by many
No faces appear at the door
The fields are all empty
In these pastures of money
'Cause farms aren't for people no more
Somehow machines
Stealin' away dreams
And genetics are the new golden doors
But the crops that we're breedin'
Not here for feedin'
The corporation or the poor
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
We could sure use you once more
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
The big dogs are back at the door
There's a whole generation
That's got no sensation
Of feelin' part of it all
No sense of the land
And the advertising man
Has got brand new logos for all
There can be no denyin'
That the farm fields are dyin'
Out here on suburbia's doors
Seems it's takin' our soul
And we're losin' control
Boy do we need you once more
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
We could sure use you once more
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
The big dogs are back at our door
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
We could sure use you once more
Hey Woody Guthrie where are you?
The big dogs are back at the door
Out here on the old golden shore
Yeah the big dogs are back at the door
