Mischief Brew - The Midnight Special 2002 lyrics

[Chorus] Let the midnight special shine a light on me Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me [Verse] Well, you wake up in the morning And it's the same old thing Dehumanization By the inhumane The warden's dog is treated better And I can't take it no more Think it's time to turn some pages No more to study war [Chorus] Let the midnight special shine a light on me Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me [Verse] If you're gonna run for office Then it's TV time Before you bet your soul's service Let's talk about crime Say I'll sweep them in the prisons Whether they're sixty or tens Politicians throw a party When they're put to d**h [Chorus] Let the midnight special shine a light on me Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me [Verse] It's a billion dollar business It's a booming field It's a good stock invest Such booming years Positions in the corporations Jobs down in old Steeltown Seems like everybody's happy 'Cept those locked up and locked down [Chorus] Let the midnight special shine a light on me Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me
