Broken Promised Land 歌词

It's a state of affairs a wave of disbelief Innocent people everywhere Being pushed out into the street With their guards up and their spirits down Sea to shining sea, town to burning town That's the way it is here in broken promised land What's the difference between a halo and a crown What's the difference between a jester and a clown When you gotta choose one here In broken promised land Tjere'a a boy on the corner Selling rock to get you high He'd probably sell his soul But nobody wants to buy Souls don't bring much these days Here in broken promised land It's a fine line we pray we never have to cross Into the other side into the land of the lost There's a whole lotta people that got a little off track Life was just an adventure now they can't find their way back Can you tell me what is left to hold onto If you take away my pride Ain't no telling what I might do If you lock me away while the guilty walk free You might as well take my life Make a real free man of me 'Cause this sure ain't freedom Sure don't taste like freedom Here in broken promised land
