| There’s a place |
| Where words mean nothing or much less |
| Such a disgrace |
| We got to get out of this mess |
| Coming in under the cover of darkness |
| How high shall we build this wall? |
| I could’ve said more but it would’ve seemed heartless |
| How hard did I slam that door? |
| I swore I’d never walk away |
| Until I saw this day |
| It didn’t turn out the way we planned |
| Now I’m living in |
| Broken Promise Land |
| Broken Promise Land |
| There’s a town I know |
| Has a strange resemblance to Jericho |
| Even though |
| Seven horns are getting ready to blow |
| Coming in under the cover of darkness |
| How high shall we build this wall? |
| Could’ve said more but it would’ve seemed heartless |
| How tight shall we close that door? |
| They only claimed to be redeemed |
| They take that name and then blaspheme |
| It didn’t turn out the way we planned |
| Now I’m living in |
| Broken Promise Land |
| Broken Promise Land |
| There’s a place |
| Where infidels and showgirls meet |
| Such a disgrace |
| Wedding bells crumble in the street |
| Coming in under the cover of darkness |
| How high shall we build this wall? |
| I could’ve said more but it would’ve seemed heartless |
| How tight shall we shut that door? |
| In the name of the Father and the Son |
| In the name of gasoline and a gun |
| It didn’t turn out the way we planned |
| Now I’m living in |
| Broken Promise Land |
| Broken Promise Land |
