Its a long way to the promise land
So youd better well know your way
Theres 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 its a long way to the promise land
Wo-oh oh oh oh oh
Its a long way to the promise land,
If we work we might find it here
Theres no substitute for enlightenment,
Theres no reason for bridled fear
When you join the people whove joined the club
You gotta clench and play your hand
cuz if you fall in line youre gonna fall in time
And youll never make a stand
Its a long way to the promise land
Wo-oh oh oh oh oh
What are you going to do?
When they come 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!
And its a long way to the promise land
Wo-oh oh oh oh oh
