The Promised Land

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We've been searchin' up and down this weary country, mm Worn out, lookin' for ways that we could feed our hungry, oh We were told the streets were paved with gold (Paved with gold) And the future would be ours to hold But we've seen the dream get bought and sold [Chorus] In the promised land We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man Has heard all the promises before, yeah In the promised land [Verse 2] We try to be faithful to our true convictions, oh But there's so much danger in the heart's addictions, mm We were told that we could have it all (Have it all) Now our backs are up against the wall As we stand looking at the rise and fall [Chorus] Of the promised land We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man Has heard all the promises before [Bridge] Smoldering ice, concrete and steel Rebuild the dream that no longer seems real (Tell me, where did we go wrong?) And what would it take to heal this condition Before it's too late now? [Guitar Solo] Wah-wah-wah [Chorus] In the promised land We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man Has heard all the promises before, yeah In the promised land (Oh) We don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the common man He's heard all the promises before (Before) [Outro] In the promised land, wah-wah-wah 'Cause the common man (He's heard it all, no more promises, oh) In the promised land, wah-wah-wah (We don't wanna, no) 'Cause the common man (Lookin' for ways that we could feed our hungry) (And what will it take?) In the promised land, wah-wah-wah (Woo) 'Cause the common man
