Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Lyrics

2. Get Down Moses

Once I got to the mountains tell you what I could see 
Percales of souls running from the priests of iniquity 
Where the hell was Elijah and what do you do 
Prophesies came us through 

You can't take the walls of Jericho 
Put your lips together and blow 
To the very top 
Say the truth crystallizes 
Like jewels in the rock 
In the rock 
Get down Moses 
Part another sea 
Carve it on the tablets of L.S.D. 
Get down Moses 
Down in Tennessee 
Get down Moses 
Down here on the street 
Blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet 
Get down Moses 
Down in the pit 

Lying in a dream across battlefields 
Crashing on the downtown strip 
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds in the spies 
And the hip 
Whose sponsoring 
It's like ghetto who's lecturing 
Cause then they'll know and then they don't know 

You better take the walls of Jericho 
Put your lips together and blow 
Going to the very top 
Well the truth crystallizes 
Like jewels in the rock 
In the rock 
Get down Moses 
From the Eagle's eyrie 
You gotta make new friends out of old enemies. 
Get down Moses 
Like in Tennessee 
Get down Moses 
Down here in the dreads 
They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead 
Get down Moses 
Down in the street 

Get down mosses 
Part another sea 
Carve it on the tablets of L.S.D. 
Get down Moses 
Down in Tennessee 
Get down Moses 
Down here on the street 
Blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet 
Get down Moses 
Down in the pit 
Get down Moses 
We need to eat 
We gotta to chew it over with our wisdom teeth 
Get down Moses
