Текст песни: The Promised Land + перевод

We’ve been searching up and down

This weary country, mmm…

Worn out looking for ways

That we can feed our hungry, oh-oh.

We were told the streets were 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 want to hear it anymore

'Cause the common man

Has heard all the promises before, yeah

In the promise land

We try to be faithful

To our true convictions, ooh-ooh…

But there’s so much danger

In the heart’s addictions, mm-hmm

We were told that we could have it all

Now our backs are up against the wall

As we stand looking at the rise-and-fall

Of the promise land

We don’t want to hear it anymore

'Cause the common man

He’s 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

In the promise land

We don’t want to hear it anymore

'Cause the common man, ooh-ooh-ooh.

Ooh-ooh, yeah

In the promise land

We don’t want to hear it anymore

'Cause the common man

He’s heard all the promises before, oh…
