It's A Long Way To Promise Land Songtext / Lyric

it's a long way to the promised land

so you'd better well know your way

where's a ship on the ocean

and an albatross who is trying to lead you astray

leaders, politicians, and power whores

are in line to receive your choice

and you bet your ass, if you give it to them,

they will gladly take your voice

and it's a long way to the promised land

wo-oh oh oh oh

it's a long way to the promised land

if we work we might find it here

there's no substitute for enlightenment,

there's no reason for bridled fear

when you join the people who've joined the club

you gotta clench and play your hand

cuz if you fall in line you're gonna fall in time

and you'll never make a stand

it's a long way to the promised land

wo-oh oh oh oh

what are you going to do?

when they call for you?

bend and capitulate?

or keep your head on straight?

easy answers bought without experience,

is gonna lead you to certain doom

because the truth is just what you make of it

it begins and ends with you!

it's a long way to the promised land

wo-oh oh oh oh

it's a long way to the promised land

wo-oh oh oh oh

it's a long way

when you join the people who joined the club

you gotta clench and play your hand

cause the truth is just what you make of it

it's a long way

get in line
