Sometimes they'll tell you to just sit still
When you know that it's time to run
Sometimes they'll tell you it's all over
When you're sure that it's just begun
[ Chorus ]
The iron wheel slowly spins around
It takes you from the cradle till you're 6 feet underground
You push and pull against it
But you ride it till it's through
And those who spin the wheel
Will those fuckers ride it too?
Sometimes they'll tell you to move along
When you're sure you should stand and fight
Sometimes they'll tell you that you're a lucky a man
But the numbers they don't add up right
[ Chorus ]
The good wife rides the wheel
As they use you slip away
T.V. preacher rides the wheel
As he leads the flock astray
Lady justice rides the wheel
But her balance is unsure
Cause the truth that lies in pieces
Scattered on the news room floor
Sometimes they'll tell you to just let go
When you're sure you should hold on tight
Sometimes they'll tell you your time will never come
When you're sure that your time's come tonight
[ Chorus ]
The Nightwatchman è il progetto solista di Tom Morello, chitarrista e compositore statunitense noto per le sue collaborazioni con band come Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave e Street Sweeper Social Club. Il nome d'arte si ispira al ruolo storico dei "Night Watchmen", guardie notturne che proteggevano le città dai ladri e dalle minacce. Morello utilizza questo progetto per esprimere la sua passione per la musica folk americana e per affrontare temi sociali e politici con un approccio diretto e incisivo. Le sue canzoni sono caratterizzate da testi poetici, melodie accattivanti e una forte componente di protesta. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Nightwatchman", "First Day of My Life" e "Burn It Down". Morello ha pubblicato diversi album con The Nightwatchman, tra cui "The Nightwatchman" (2007) e "Pandemonium: A Collection of Songs from the Streets" (2016).
