The Ghost Of Tom Joad Lyrics

Cover art for The Ghost Of Tom Joad lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

"Wherever somebodies fightin for a place to stand For a decent job or a helpin' hand Wherever somebody is strugglin' to be free"

The song is clearly about more than just trying to get money. He talks about cops beating guys and blood and hatred in the air. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but the song seems to be about something deeper. And yes, I do like the Rage version.
