Tomas Baptist Morelo (engl. Thomas Baptiste Morello 30. maj 1964)
AmeriÄki muziÄar, pevaÄ, kompozitor i aktivista. Najpoznatiji je kao Älan benda Rage Against the Machine, a zatim i Audioslave. Morelo je muziÄar na turnejama Brus Springstina, a poznat je i po svom akustiÄnom solo projektu pod nazivom The Nightwatchman.
Morelo je i suosnivaÄ (zajedno sa Serdžom Tankijanom) neprofitne politiÄke organizacije Axis of Justice koja emituje meseÄni program na radio-stanici u Los AnÄ‘elesu.
RoÄ‘en je u Harlemu (Njujork), a odrastao u Libertivil (Ilinois). Morelo je postao zainteresovan za muziku i politiku dok je bio u srednjoj školi. PohaÄ‘ao je Univerzitet Harvard i stekao diplomu u društvenim naukama. Nakon što je njegov prethodni bend Lock Up rasformiran, Morelo se sastao sa Zakom de la RoÄom i osnovali su Rage Against the Machine zajedno. Grupa je postala jedna od najpopularnijih i najuticajnijih u rokenrolu ’90-ih...
Men walking ’long the railroad tracks Going someplace, there’s no going back Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge Shelter line stretching ’round the corner Welcome to the new world order Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest No home, no job, no peace, no rest
Well the highway is alive tonight But nobody’s kidding nobody about where it goes I’m sitting down here in the campfire light Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last In a cardboard box ’neath the underpass You got a one-way ticket to the promised land You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock Bathing in the city’s aqueduct
Go!
Well the highway is alive tonight Where it’s headed everybody knows I’m sitting down here in the campfire light Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there’s a cop beating a guy Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries Where there’s a fight against the blood and hatred in the air Look for me, Mom, I’ll be there
Wherever somebody’s fighting for a place to stand Or a decent job or a helping hand Wherever somebody’s struggling to be free Look in their eyes, Ma, and you’ll see me" Yeah!
The highway is alive tonight Where it’s headed everybody knows I’m sitting down here in the campfire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad Well the highway is alive tonight But nobody’s kidding nobody about where it goes I’m sitting down here in the campfire light With the ghost of old Tom Joad With the ghost of old Tom Joad With the ghost of old Tom Joad
