The Midnight Special 2002

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
