Verse
-Part 1 (w/ light distortion):
1)It s a long way to the promised land so you d better well know your
way. There s a ship on the ocean and an albatross who is trying to
lead you astray
Following the same pattern:
(* : Guitar 2(w/ heavy distortion) strikes E5 ad lib)
2)It s a long way to the promised land, if we work we might find it
* *
here. There s no substitute for enlightenment, there s no reason for
bridled fear
-Part 2 (w/ heavy distortion):
1) Leaders, politicians, and power s are in line to receive your
choice and you bet your ass, you if give it to them, they will gladly
take your voice.
Following the same pattern:
2) When you join the people who ve joined the club you gotta, clench and
play your hand, Cuz if you fall in line you re gonna fall in time
and you ll never make a stand
3) Easy answers bought without experience, is gonna lead you to certain
doom because the truth is just what you make of it, it begins and ends with you!
