Lyrics Something Broken in the Promised Land - Wayne Kramer

Something Broken in the Promised Land

Some motherfucker
Is pissing on my grave
How much irrigation can I stand?
And the kids down the street are playin' with
Sub-machine guns
Something’s broken
In the promised land
A broken promise
In the promised land
My cat sings along with Neil Young records
How much more damage can I stand?
And the whole state of Michigan
Just signed up for welfare
Something’s broken
In the promised land
A broken promise
In the promised land
Something broken in the promised land
A mis-direction in the promised land
A lost connection in the promised land
Something broken
In the promised land
Well where’s Lee Oswald?
Now that we need him
I’ve seen all the lone gunmen
That I can stand
There’s a self improvement tape
Its called getting used to poverty
Something’s broken
In the promised land
A broken promise
In the promised land
Something broken in the promised land
The dream is sold out in the promised land
And the sidewalk’s cold out in the promised land
And we’re all going broke here
In the promised land
The promised land
The promised land
The rich get lazy in the promised land
And the poor get crazy in the promised land
And the vision fails in the promised land
And they’re building jails out here in the promised land
Its a busted deal here in the promised land
And this shit is real here in the promised land
And my chevy died here in the promised land
And Chuck Berry lied about the promised land
A broken promise
In the promised land
