Tom: B
Riff:
It's a long way to the promise 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
E B A B
Leaders, politicians, and power whores
A B
are in line to receive your choice
A B
And you bet your ass, if you give it to them,
A E B E B
they will gladly take your voice
Chorus:
A B A E B
And it's a long way to the promise land Wo-oh Oh oh oh
A B A E B
And it's a long way to the promise land Wo-oh Oh oh oh
(Riff)
It's a long way to the promise land, if we work we might find it here
There's no substitute for enlightenment, there's no reason for bridled fear
E B A B
When you join the people who've joined the club
A B
you gotta clench and play your hand
A B
'Cuz if you fall in line you're gonna fall in time
A E B E B
and you'll never make a stand
(Chorus)
Bridge:
D E B D E B
What are you going to do? When they call for you?
D E B D E B
Bend and capitulate? Or keep your head on straight?
E B A B
Easy answers bought without experience,
A B
is gonna l lead you to certain doom
A B
Because the truth is just what you make of it,
A E B E B
it begins and ends with you!
(Chorus)x2
B
Get in line
