Lyrics Promised Land - The Ugly Kings

Promised Land

Don’t show me the way to the promised land
If you can be bought
Don’t preach to me words you don’t understand
Just leave me alone
Don’t show me the way to the promised land
If you can be bought
Don’t preach to me words you don’t understand
Just leave me alone
For the promise of gold
But they find only rocks and a never ending deeper hole
Worship the holy temp, pulling the silver strings
Never knowing where they’re going, or what it means
But it won’t be me
Not my promised land, no you won’t find me
At the promised land
They say the truth is written, on a paper wall
But they’ll burn it all down for a promise of a little more
Shake for it shake for it, for that dollar sign
For that golden watch
And the righteous tell their stories like they got the world figured out
Lead your flock to the holy land but you won’t have me
No you won’t have me
No you won’t have me
No you won’t have me
Don’t show me the way to the promised land
If you can be bought
Don’t preach to me words you don’t understand
Just leave me alone
Don’t feed from the hand of the righteous man
While it feeds on the poor
Don’t look into the eyes of the hypnotist
Telling you the one to blame
And they’ll sell our souls, if they play their game
You can tell that faceless man that it won’t be me
Not my promised land, no you won’t find me
At the promised land no
Don’t show me the way to the promised land
If you can be bought
