Verse 1
And alone when he said
That's enough, I'm gonna wake up dead
He raised the clenched fist
with a gun to his head
C
G
And for the last time forever,
C
G
Jake fell down and bled
He was as old as the century
He'd seen all that one
man could have seen
Gm
G
He caught the big infection
When he saw the dream of 1913
Haywood,
Gurley,
Flynn, and the I .W .W.
One big union rolling up 5th
Avenue to
Madison
Square
Garden
To dramatize the fight of 50 ,000
silk workers in the
Patterson's
Trench
Meanwhile on
Cm
G
Lexington and 25th 13 ,000
things tore in the cherished myth
He saw
Picabia,
Picasso,
Sloane and
Van
Gogh
Exploding from the walls at the armory show
A bullet's flight from the good
fight against want
He saw the fractured nude by
Marcel
Duchamp
C
G
In the face of profit, he saw the wallet's fist
In the face of submission,
Cm
G
he saw the abolition of limits
Jake got infected by the 20th century
And took that last jail cell in 1950
To finally get him over that
Home

Now, forty years later,
G
Gm
He's hearing the siren calling him
G
Cm
G
with her silent voice
Cm
G
She's the one he would have died
for when he was thirty -three
Now her song's a kiss with a warm
promise of permanent company
Gm
G
He sees heaven between her
shoulders and in her warm brown eyes
The life under her skin for him is
the end of loneliness and lies
He feels the warmth of reluctant smile,
a gift from his father
He hears his mother calling him
and the sound of running water
He sees the children he wanted
to have in a world without a
Bible
He hears the
AFL -CIO singing the international
He finds the piece of his
leg that he lost at a
Haramakil
C
G
He takes back the three
years they stole and smelt him
He joins the final conflict,
reason rising from confusion
He dances on the grave of
the last disillusioned
He sees a week of burning,
no hangover, retribution

C
He sees 1913 again and takes the revolution!
