Promised Land |
| The happy time |
| All our people are here |
| All the gifts that they bring |
| All the songs that we sing |
| Hollow blessings will ring |
| The killing time |
| All the bystanders hide |
| Everything on the slide |
| Mad and tired inside |
| Still a laugh of false pride |
| Would it take that pretty smile away from your face |
| Would it turn that pretty laughter into tears |
| Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land |
| Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land |
| Well there’s just too many things I’m afraid to ask |
| Lying time |
| No more thought for a vow |
| One more break of a bough |
| One more voice asking how |
| Who is listening now |
| Would it take that pretty smile away from your face |
| Would it turn that pretty laughter into tears |
| Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land |
| Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land |
| Well there’s just too many things I’m afraid to ask |
| Money time |
| One more judge takes his price |
| One more room filled with ice |
| And sadistical vice |
| One more child without voice |
| Would it take that pretty smile away from your face |
| Would it turn that pretty laughter into tears |
| Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land |
| Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land |
| Well there’s just too many things I’m afraid to ask |
| Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land |
| Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land |
| Well there’s just too many things I’m afraid to ask |
