Promised Land Songtext

The happy timeAll our people are hereAll the gifts that they bringAll the songs that we singHollow blessings will ringThe killing timeAll the bystanders hideEverything on the slideMad and tired insideStill a laugh of false prideWould it take that pretty smile away from your faceWould it turn that pretty laughter into tearsIs there still a need for sorrow in the promised landWill there always be tomorrow in the promised landWell there's just too many things I'm afraid to askLying timeNo more thought for a vowOne more break of a boughOne more voice asking howWho is listening nowWould it take that pretty smile away from your faceWould it turn that pretty laughter into tearsIs there still a need for sorrow in the promised landWill there always be tomorrow in the promised landWell there's just too many things I'm afraid to askMoney timeOne more judge takes his priceOne more room filled with iceAnd sadistical viceOne more child without voiceoWuld it take that pretty smile away from your faceWould it turn that pretty laughter into tearsIs there still a need for sorrow in the promised landWill there always be tomorrow in the promised landWell there's just too many things I'm afraid to askIs there still a need for sorrow in the promised landWill there always be tomorrow in the promised landWell there's just too many things I'm afraid to ask
