The Midnight Special 2002 - Mischief Brew

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me

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

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me

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 death

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me

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

Let the midnight special shine a light on me

Let the midnight special shine her ever loving light on me
