The Promised Land versuri

Versuri J.T. Taylor – The Promised Land lyrics

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

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

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

Of the promised land
We don’t wanna hear it anymore
‘Cause the common man
Has heard all the promises before

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?

Wah-wah-wah

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)

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
