Highway 9
By Eliza Gilkyson

Well, the white god said to the little man
we're gonna fulfill scripture in the holy land
between the Tigris and Euphrates
it's a lot like hell
go on and liberate my people and the o-i-l

Got your big trucks rollin' down hiway 9
put on the armor, it's party time
gonna dance with the devil of our own design
get your big trucks rollin' down hiway 9

So the little man gathered
all his chicken-hawks in
and the neo-cons and his daddy's kin
With their own clear channel
and a helluva spin
and a white man hidden in a black man's skin

Big trucks rollin' down hiway 9
pulverize the public, it's payback time
who's tax dollar is it? your's and mine
keeps the big trucks rollin' down hiway 9.

Well we got caught sleepin at the sentry post
now we're standing toe to toe
with what we feared the most
that old father and his son
and the unheavenly host
We gotta do what we can
and don't give up the ghost

Big trucks rollin' down hiway 9
food and water and an Internet line
run to the polls when it comes a time
cause the big trucks rollin' down hiway 9.
