Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity
Where the hell was Elijah
What do you do when the prophecy game was through
We gotta take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
To the very top
Say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock
Get down Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
Get down Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down in the street
The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get down Moses, down in the pit
Lying in a dream, cross a battlefield
Crashing on a downtown strip
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip
Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto
Who's lecturing who's in the know and in the don't know
You better take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
Goin' to the very top
Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock
Get down Moses, from the eagle aerie
You gotta to make new friends out of old enemies
Get down Moses, back in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down with the dreads
They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead
Get down Moses, down in the street
Get down Moses
Get down Moses, part another sea
Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
Get down Moses, out in Tennessee
Get down Moses, down in the street
The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get down Moses, down in the pit
Get down Moses
Get down Moses
Get down Moses
We need to eat
We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth
Get down Moses
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity
Where the hell was Elijah
What do you do when the prophecy game was through
We gotta take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
To the very top
Say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock
Get down Moses, part another sea

I assume the song's title is a play on the title of the Faulkner novel Go Down Moses.

I'm pretty sure Moses was too busy with, you know, walking across deserts without even a small Evian or orange slices, and other annoying tasks like parting the Red Sea, to have any time whatsoever to "get down".
Although, he was reported to have said, when he finally got those pesky masses to the promised land,
"I am gonna get so FACED tonight! Who's with me?".

We know he has an unfortunate association with Cadillac. Also, "Lost in the Supermarket" and especially "Koka Kola" speak to the Clash's feeling about commercialism.

He must of been terrible at business. Died with less than a million dollars. Now, I know, $1,000 is a lot of money, but as someone so impactful and famous, you would think he would've died with more.
Or maybe he worked out that $1000000 (with all the zeros!) was more than enough for his needs in life as a musician (not a businessman). I think that would be in keeping with what I hear of him. A sadly rare point of view in these days of conspicuous acquisition and consumption. The first million is the hardest... cuatrot wrote:
A lot of artists, far more influential even than Mr. Strummer, died penniless. Unappreciated until after their deaths.
Not to mention, the music business has not traditionally been kind to artists, business acumen or no.
But yeah, I see your point.

Fantastic song! I don't think I ever would have heard this were it not for RP.
Thanks, Bill!
Thanks, Bill!
A great body of work post-Clash. Love JS!
I love this regular on the RP rotation. I've always imagined a Wierd Al video with Mel Brooks as Moses.

Dear radioparadise9, Actually, Tony0600's comment wasn't at all out of line. He only indicated his taste. He didn't suggest that it was bad music, or that it shouldn't be played, or that it caused diarrhea in innocent children. He only indicated he didn't like it. That's fair. I don't like the taste of peanut butter, weird but true. If I state that it makes me gag, it doesn't mean that others shouldn't like it. Let's not flame folks for stating their harmless opinions!
Thank you for sharing your ignorance

Moses - took tablets up a mountain. A man with far to go. Or maybe vertigo. Thanks Joe.
Great. Love this. His voice is more mature here but still with that classic Strummer attitude lurking like a snake about to strike.
Forget Jesus... right now the world needs Joe Strummer to come back...
Get down Joe !!

Believers Score in Battle Over the Battle of Jericho
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Published: February 22, 1990
After years of doubt among archeologists, a new analysis of excavations has yielded a wide range of evidence supporting the biblical account about the fall of Jericho. It may well be true that, in the words of the old spiritual, ''Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, and the walls come tumbling down.''

I believe Joe Strummer's voice aged to a sweet perfection. He was a truly bright burning candle.

I wonder what Weird Al could do with this one? He could keep the lyrics and just do a video. It's the unusual songs like this one, that keeps me listening to this most awesome station. I'm in my tenth year of listening and I only use the PSD button when U2 is playing because I can hear them FM if want to.

I tried PSD three times in a row and ended up on this song. Sorry, Bill, but three strikes and you're out. Off to Pandora for the rest of the day. Hear you tomorrow...

"We gotta take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow"
If we had the faith of a mustard seed
--->
After the seventh trip around the city on the seventh day, Scripture tells us that the wall “fell flat” (Jos 6:20). A more accurate rendering of the Hebrew word here would be “fell beneath itself.” Is there evidence for such an event at Jericho? It turns out that there is ample evidence that the mudbrick city wall collapsed and was deposited at the base of the stone retaining wall at the time the city met its end.
After the city walls fell, how could the Israelites surmount the 12–15 foot high retaining wall at the base of the tell? Excavations have shown that the bricks from the collapsed walls fell in such a way as to form a ramp against the retaining wall. The Israelites could merely climb up over the pile of rubble, up the embankment, and enter the city. The Bible is very precise in its description of how the Israelites entered the city: “The people went up into the city, every man straight before him” (Jos 6:20, KJV). The Israelites had to go up, and that is what archaeology has revealed. They had to go from ground level at the base of the tell to the top of the rampart in order to enter the city.
But one section remained standing --->
According to the Bible, Rahab’s house was incorporated into the fortification system (Jos 2:15). If the walls fell, how was her house spared? As you recall, the spies had instructed Rahab to bring her family into her house and they would be rescued. When the Israelites stormed the city, Rahab and her family were saved as promised (Jos 6:17, 22–23). At the north end of the tell of Jericho, archaeologists made some astounding discoveries that seem to relate to Rahab.
The German excavation of 1907-1909 found that on the north a short stretch of the lower city wall did not fall as everywhere else. A portion of that mudbrick wall was still standing to a height of 8 ft (Sellin and Watzinger 1973: 58). What is more, there were houses built against the wall! It is quite possible that this is where Rahab’s house was located. Since the city wall formed the back wall of the houses, the spies could have readily escaped. From this location on the north side of the city, it was only a short distance to the hills of the Judean wilderness where the spies hid for three days (Jos 2:16, 22).

Great stuff, almost forgotten about Joe Strummer. Heard this and thought, wow, great stuff, who is it? And then ..... of course!
Love this! Great tune from an under appreciated Rock musician.
Groovin'!

I just get so much more work done listening to Joe.
Reminds me: tonight I'm putting this album on in the shop while I'm working. Solid groove.

Oh... its sirroseph, now I understand.
It still blows my mind that this guy came from the Clash
. Combination of a tremendous talent being hid in a bad band and him having a later in life overall ephiphany which translated to amazing music! Strummer rocks!

I'm a huge Clash fan, but I have to say that I think Mr. Strummer's work with The Mescaleros at least as good as the best of the Clash.
I listen maybe 4 hours a week to RP, What are the odds I'd here the same song inside of week?
Good song always! Joe left us too soon!

Just a few more days...Absolute best ever!
The Clash a bad band? Um, okay, Well, that's one poster I don't have to bother reading anymore from.
And to the guy below me talking about new sounds, you know the song's like 9 years old, right?

Great artist: always new sounds, no nostalgic
Great Passover song!
