Sunshine feelin' static through your body you don't know what's going on
Then a creep crawl the mind bends bet it all then cash in and be gone
Cause it's side corners and street lights caught in this haze and I here them callin'
CHORUS
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I had a dream that everything wasn't the way it seemed
Martin was the President and Malcolm the VP
Bush wore a rubber and W was never born
We never bombed Nam and never went to Desert Storm
Little babies was birthed to ladies and grown men
Instead of gangsters and bitches not knowing were to begin
Because we born into this world to die trained to kill steal and lie
Raised to sin just to survive framed cause if we caught we fry
Somebody save us they said the saviors comin'
But if he aint got nuclear weapons he should keep on runnin'
Cause they bombin' the palaces churches and temples and mosques
We got the freedom of speech until yo ass get shot
where's the train
CHORUS
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
Sometimes the candlelight is brighter than the sunshine darkness is long gone
Diggin' my soul still not knowing what's going on
Four in the morning a thousand miles away from home
Glassy and tight eyes reddish and off white oberserving the ice
Swimming in my cup until it's right
Cause it's midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin' it till I'm gone midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin it till I'm gone
CHORUS
I hear the train just callin' callin' me home
I hear the train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
Then a creep crawl the mind bends bet it all then cash in and be gone
Cause it's side corners and street lights caught in this haze and I here them callin'
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
Martin was the President and Malcolm the VP
Bush wore a rubber and W was never born
We never bombed Nam and never went to Desert Storm
Little babies was birthed to ladies and grown men
Instead of gangsters and bitches not knowing were to begin
Because we born into this world to die trained to kill steal and lie
Raised to sin just to survive framed cause if we caught we fry
Somebody save us they said the saviors comin'
But if he aint got nuclear weapons he should keep on runnin'
Cause they bombin' the palaces churches and temples and mosques
We got the freedom of speech until yo ass get shot
where's the train
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
Diggin' my soul still not knowing what's going on
Four in the morning a thousand miles away from home
Glassy and tight eyes reddish and off white oberserving the ice
Swimming in my cup until it's right
Cause it's midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin' it till I'm gone midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin it till I'm gone
I hear the train just callin' callin' me home
I hear the train just callin' callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home

I see alot of war references in the last verse. In that first verse I don't get much out of it. The second/third verse seems like it's talking about what America would be like if their were some better choices, or just difference choices per say, because if Malcom X was the vice president, well god knows what would be happening right now. But I think it means, if Martin Luther and Malcom were President and VP then there'd be less racism or more equality in the country. And if Bush wore a rubber and W was never born, is saying, Bush was a good president, but W Bush, is a bad president. And if we hadn't gone to war. About making the better choices for America?
The sad truth that we are living :( nice song and meaning lyrics.
