Tom Joad is a character from The Grapes of Wrath (a great book about the Great Depression.) The book focuses on "man's inhumanity to man" and police brutality. Tom Joad ends up killing a cop after the cop kills his friend (the preacher who was waiting for the last to be first....) This is a really eye-opening song.
