Ease My Revolutionary Mind
Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Tom Morello
Contact Publisher - Woody Guthrie Publications/BMG Chrysalis
Night is here again, baby,
I'm stretched out on my bed
Seeing all kinds of crazy notions
Running through my head;
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awfully liberal woman;
Ain't no reactionary baby
Can ease my revolutionary mind.
One hand is on my pillow
One hand is on my head,
I see a million nightmares
Tearing around inside my head;
I need a progressive woman
I need an awfully liberal woman
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind.
If I could only make you see, babe,
I ache and pain and bleed,
I know you'd come a runnin'
If you blistered both your feet.
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awful liberal woman;
I need an open minded mama
To ease my revolutionary mind.
If you could see me here, baby,
Broke out with salty sweat;
No matter where you go I know
You never could forget
I need a progressive woman;
I need a liberal thinking woman;
I need an open hearted mama
To ease my revolutionary mind.
I ain't no lumpen proletariat,
And I ain't no petty bourgeoisie
But I'm gonna be a cold corpse
If you don't run here to me
I need a progressive shipmate;
I need a liberous nature lover,
But no reactionary female
Can ease my revolutionary mind.
If you're a republican or a democrat,
Or a white hood Ku Klux Klan,
No use to ring my doorbell
'Cause I'll never be your man
I want a union working woman
I want a progressive liberous woman,
I want a nice progressive mama
To ease my revolutionary mind.
