Fabled City lyrics

Artist  : Tom Morello 
Song : Fabled City



 Send "Fabled City" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Me and Javier shouted slogan in Spanish

Like
it was our world to win

Then they moved the
plant down Ojada

Time to bite you tongue
again



*chorus*

I've seen the
fabled city.

Its streets are paved with
gold.

But an iron fence runs 'round it

and its iron gate is closed.



What
ain't right ain't right he told me.

But
something else passed behind his eyes.

Now
he's downtown on his knees,

washin' floors
for somebody

And he's quietly biting his
toungue



*chorus*

Ha!



At the gas station on sunset and
crescent,

I met and angel sad and old.

She lived in the alley behind the market

in the shadows maybe hidden from the Lord.



And for a dollar she sang a song

that sounded more like a prayer

A wish
that her dead mother and father

couldn't
look down and see her there.



*chorus*



On the wire outside my
window,

there sit one hundred swallows.

And I suspect that if one flew,

then
ninety nine would follow
