The Whirlwind - Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman

From zero to sixty and wanted two life times

Can't find the criminal just follow the pipeline

I sing for my supper a fuel sanded shot

And pray the cannons will pound the guilt I got

I'm willing to negotiate they fire from the precipice

An amry of grizzlies divide up the rest of us

The problem I have with the movie is just that

The cameras were shakey

And just missed the blood bath

An ash covered highway silent and froze

And I dreamed that ya' held me

It was me you were holdin'

I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust

Outside of the motel

And then it was just us

The borders are closin'

No one goes in or out

The assets all frozen in sixteen swiss bank accounts

A red ragin' migraine

A fear of hegemony

I looked back I heard the shot

My friend said Wasn't me

How can you sit back and wait

The battle is ragin'

Hold on man I'm comin'

Just straighetnin' my cage first

Three-hundred closed caskets

A world famous symphony of angry ghosts singin'

And marchin' from wounded knee

An ash covered highway silent and froze

And I dreamed that ya' held me

It was me you were holdin'

I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust

Outside of the motel

And then it was just us

A colonial investment in steel or in iron

The natives are restless can't blame 'em for tryin'

The lightnin' blows through the legion it enters

The hail it follows and smashes the center

I sit 'round the table with strangers and friends

My Dad knows it's comin' but still he pretends

My brother he smiles reveals the secret

The step-mother shutters She just can't believe it

An ash covered highway silent and froze

And I dreamed that ya' held me

It was me you were holdin'

I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust

Outside of the motel

And then it was just us

An ash covered highway silent and froze

And I dreamed that ya' held me

It was me you were holdin'

I stood in the whirlwind of shrapnel and sawdust

Outside of the motel

And then it was just us

And then it was just us
