Get Down Moses

Joe Strummer, Martin Paul Slattery, Scott Shields, Simon Stafford

Once I got to the mountain top, everywhere I could see
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity
Where the hell was Elijah?
Well, what do you do when the prophecy came was true?

(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
You cannot take the walls of Jericho
(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
Put your lips together and blow
(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
To the very top
(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
Sayin' the truth crystallizes
Like jewels in the rock, in the rock

Get down Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of LSD
Get down Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down in the street
The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get down Moses, down in the pit

Lying in a green, cross bound field
Crashing on a downtown strip
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip
Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto
Who's lecturing? Who's in the know and in the don't know?

(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
You better take the walls of Jericho
(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
Put your lips together and blow
(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
Goin' to the very top
(Na na, na-na-na-na-na)
Where the truth crystallizes
Like jewels, in the rock, in the rock

Get down Moses, from the eagle eyrie
You gotta to make a new friend out of old enemies
Get down Moses, back in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down with the dreads
They got a lotta reasoning in a dread head
Get down Moses, down in the street

Get down Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of LSD
Get down Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down in the street
The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get down Moses, down in the pit
Get down Moses
Get down Moses
Get down Moses
We need to eat
We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth
Get down Moses
