It's Christmas time in Washington The Democrats rehearsed Getting into gear for four more years Things not getting worse Republicans drink whiskey neat And thank their lucky stars Said he cannot seek another term They'll be no more F.D.R.`s I sat home in Tennessee Just Staring at the screen An un-easy feeling in my chest And I'm wondering what it means So come back Woody Guthrie Come back to us now Tear your eyes from paradise And rise again some how 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 travel days Somewhere I failed to find your trail Now I'm stumblin' through the haze But there's killers on the highway And man can't get around So I sold my soul for wheels that roll And 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 some how If you run into Jesus Maybe he can help us 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 The proud red banners torn To you listen to the radio You'd think it all was real But you and me and Cisco know It's going straight to hell So come back Emma Goldman Rise up old Joe Hill The barricades are going 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 Ebring So come back Woody Guthrie Come back to us now Tear your eyes from paradise And rise again somehow
