Some motherfucker is pissin' on my grave
How much irrigation can I stand?
And the kids down the street are playin' with sub-machine guns
You know something's broken in the promised land
(A broken promise in the promised land)
The cats sing along with Neil Young records
How much more damage can I stand?
And the whole state of Michigan just signed up for welfare
Something's broken in the promised land
(A broken promise in the promised land)
Something broken in the promised land
A lost direction in the promised land
A missed connection in the promised land
Something broken in the promised land
(Promised land, promised land)
So where's Lee Oswald now that we need him?
I've seen all the lone gunmen that I can stand
And there's a self-improvement tape
It's called "Getting Used to Poverty"
There's something broken in the promised land
(A broken promise in the promised land)
Something broken in the promised land
The dream is sold out in the promised land
And the sidewalk's cold out in the promised land
We're all going broke here in the promised land
(Promised land, promised land)
The rich get lazy in the promised land
The poor get crazy in the promised land
A busted deal here in the promised land
And the shit is real here in the promised land
And the vision fails in the promised land
They're building jails in the promised land
My Chevy died here in the promised land
And Chuck Berry lied about the promised land
(Promised land, promised land)
