Songtext von The Wasteland

You can lead us to water but you can’t make us drink it You can lead us to wisdom but you can’t make us think it So we’re dry and we’re foolish and that’s how we’re gonna stay ‘Till you lead us away From the Wasteland You can show us your goodness but we won’t recognize it You can show us what love is but we’ll only despise it So we’re bad and we’re lonely and that’s how we’re gonna stay Till you lead us away From the Wasteland Yeah from the mental state So far from the Heartland Where fear and hate make everything quicksand We’ve lost our way in this barren place Life’s as empty as the time we waste In the Wasteland There’s a snake in the shadow and he’s looking us over A vulture above us and he’s circling lower See we’re poisoned and we’re dying just a little everyday You’ve got to lead us away / From the Wasteland Yeah from the mental state So far from the Heartland Where fear and hate make everything quicksand We’ve lost our way in this barren place Life’s as empty as the time we waste In the Wasteland You can give us your justice but we’ll only defy it You can send us salvation but we’ll just crucify it Still you rise from the ruins and you promise us a day When you’ll lead us away From the Wasteland
