It's a Long Way to the Promise Land lyrics

It's a long way to the promised land

So you'd better well know your way

There'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

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

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's a long way to the promised land

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Whoa-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

'Cause if you fall in line, you're gonna fall in time

And you'll never make a stand

[Chorus]

And it's a long way to the promised land

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's a long way to the promised land

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Whoa-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

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

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's a long way to the promised land

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's a long way to the promised land

(When you join the people who've joined the club)

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)

It's a long way to the promised land

(You gotta clench and play your hand)

(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)

It's a long way to the promised land

(Because the truth is just what you make of it)

(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)

It's a long way, get in line
