Broken Promised Land |
It’s a state of affairs a wave of disbelief |
Innocent people everywhere |
Being pushed out into the street |
With their guards up and their spirits down |
Sea to shining sea, town to burning town |
That’s the way it is here in broken promised land |
What’s the difference between a halo and a crown |
What’s the difference between a jester and a clown |
When you gotta choose one here |
In broken promised land |
Tjere’a a boy on the corner |
Selling rock to get you high |
He’d probably sell his soul |
But nobody wants to buy |
Souls don’t bring much these days |
Here in broken promised land |
It’s a fine line we pray we never have to cross |
Into the other side into the land of the lost |
There’s a whole lotta people that got a little off track |
Life was just an adventure now they can’t find their way back |
Can you tell me what is left to hold onto |
If you take away my pride |
Ain’t no telling what I might do |
If you lock me away while the guilty walk free |
You might as well take my life |
Make a real free man of me |
'Cause this sure ain’t freedom |
Sure don’t taste like freedom |
Here in broken promised land |
