Morello, Tom - Roadrunner Lyrics
I be damned I gave my last
I be damned I gave my last
To a coyote
I be damned I gave my last
To a coyote
I be damned I gave my last
To a coyote
To get me across the border
Left me to be a sheep
For the slaughter
Somehow I survive
When a lot of my friends died
That's how I learn to run and
Cry at the same time
Spent days in the dark
That would keep me going
At night
In the valley of death
My name changed
Got introduced to
My best friend pain
That's my partner when
I'm dancing the rain
I walk through the
Desert until it became
My lane, my Game
I came through the desert
Till it became
My role, my goal, my soul
In the desert
Till became
My own
One hour out of Guadalajara
No pit stops even though
The engine getting hotter
Surviving on my sweat
I drink it outta bottles
I see a lotta y'all parched
And that's the fucking problem
See in the valley of death
Your name would change
Let me introduce you
To my friend pain
My partner when we
Dancing in the rain
Walk with me in the desert
See how it does when
It's your own lane
My game
I came through the
Desert till it became
My role, my goals, my Soul
In the desert, till it became
My own
My lane, my game
I came through the dersert till
It became
My role, my goal, my Soul
In the desert, till it became
My lane, my game
I came through the dersert till
It became
My role, my goal, my Soul
In the desert till it
Became my own

Morello, Tom Roadrunner Comments
Why did I think cardi b sung this the first time I heard this in need for speed payback
Melon didn’t like this one
All i hear is, "I'll be there in my gamer legs". Payback anyone?
Death Grips vibes, best track from Tom in a long while
Sounds like Cardi B
Being a Rockstar 😎
i'm here from the payback of need for speed
Personnellement je me suis fait strike 2 fois à cause de Need for Speed Payback
Need for speed payback anyone?
Just heard this on Lithium and damn, I'm in love.
*Roadrunner And Coyote Backstory?*
🔥workout track
Need For Speed Payback brought me here.
His voice reminds me of Joe C. You know the midget from kid rock
RATM with a female lead, I dig it!
Tom is a master of guitar
Need For Speed?
Payback
@HeroManNickBG Gaming yea
Best song on the album, by a wide margin.
Nfs payback anyone?
Me haha
Lina Navarro bought me here
This song is about rising up after hard hit with sledgehammer
Unbelievable solo from 1:40 to 2:14. Tom is such a badass guitarist. Throughout his career he consistently creates riffs composed of sounds that I didn't know a guitar could make.
did k?d produce this or did zaphyre lmao
Cardi???
Airbxrhm that’s who I thought it was but it isn’t Cardi b...
Sonic ear drill. Not in a good way.
Is a short list of hyperbolic metaphors what constitutes good song lyrics now?
Is hateful and whiny ass the way to live life now?
One of many shitty songs in need for speed
Alan Santiago then Why are you here?
At least it much better track than the shitty trap that they added on the game, shitter.
I like the clean NFS version without the annoying guitar
Zac Redfield same
Actually such a wank song for Tom Morello
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that this song is in Need For Speed Payback until now...
To be fair,all the official soundtracks and videos have removed it from thier list
So while its in the game,theres no evidence of it
*spent last 2 hours looking for this song threw the NFS playlists
Ended up having to play the game again just to confirm the song does exist
Because this song isn't released yet when the game launched?
You don’t even know how hard I tried to find it thanks to the game
And Moses said, "Meep! Meep!"
So much is packed into a very minimal lyrical phrasing. This is great. Never mind the "Bring back RATM; RATM is over" argument that seems to dominate everything Morello has done since RATM produced its last album. This song, lyrically, and from a poetical phrasing standpoint, is as RATM as anything. Angry staccato with short syllables separated by odd rests is the hallmark of RATM. The timing and phrasing here are perfect.
You don't want RATM, you want this this kind of music making.
Also, the angry female voice is as full of rage as anyone else... ...Anger about over arching social issues is well placed, I think. Too often, a female voice is reserved for "women's issues." Screw that. Injustice is everyone's problem.
[Edited to streamline punctuation, which I'm sure is still messed up]
the "female voice" is leikeli47, an incredible artist in her own right... u (and anyone who likes this song) should check her out
My desert My pain......my roadrunners - my jam. Best lyrics EVER!!!!!!!!
Definitely about hispanic people and their attempt to cross the border and let me tell you this song describes everything perfectly
THE FUCK? O_O This chick is a morherfucking female zack!
Zack is that you?
Wow. This is the jam off the new record. Tom should an entire album with her. Powerful stuff.
LOVING THIS. besides the obvious, the idea "surviving the desert" can represent the darkest part or parts of our personal journey to the other side.
My journey through the desert is my battle with PTSD. The coyote that left me hanging is the VA / The US GOVERNMENT. My friends that died are the thousands of vets that have committed suicide. I was lucky and I only had to wait 6 months. Even then the help was half-ass.
I am still crossing my desert. my role my goal my soul is to make it to the other side. not only for myself, but to be able to go back and help others cross.
THE ATLAS UNDERGROUND THANK YOU FOR GIVING THOSE OF US WHO EVERY DAY IS A FIGHT, A SOUND TRACK TO HELP US KEEP SWINGING.
IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH A STRUGGLE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Keep fighting brother, cross that desert!
Maybe you should get a hobby.
Whole album with rage plz, make it happen tom 2019
People really need to get over the comparisons to RATM. Tom Morello is his own individual and has plenty of quality work to show for that. Keep it up. Rooting for you man!
Zack spirit!
Leikeli47 de la Rocha.
Are you fucking deaf?
the best of all! It could be the RATM 2019
Lets get this one out of the way with only one whiny comment
ZACH?? Where are you?
This isnt RATM!
No, this is a Tom Morello's project!!
México escucha ¡The atlas underground¡
