Lyrics
promised land
you ask yourself why
there's people getting high
there is a girl who gets lonely
there is one way only
even though it isn't love
she is floating up above
the carpet now and she's ok
why do we worry 'bout consequence
and totter on that picket fence
a real problem, ain't skin deep
that's the magic to our relief
and it's buried inside
keep the treasure alive
it will give itself freely to you
fill up the tv with some violence
neighbor said it was self-defense
hard to know what to outlaw
between the need an greed it's a draw
we are crazy, intelligent
we are lazy, we are bent
and we have another round comin up
so let's go
to the promised land
chorus
promised land
promised land
promised land
my name is salvador dali
i am a painter most naturally
surrealistic as a point of view
it's time we thought of something new
we are failing
we are waiting
for a traitor to lead us
off a precipice of promised land
chorus
promised land
promised land
promised land
two televisions flicker in a room
face each other with opposing views
another murder on the news
they package it to soothe your blues
chorus
in the promised land
promised land
promised land
promised land
promised land
promised land
promised land
