Bad Religion It's a Long Way to the Promise Land

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
leaders, politicians, and power whores
are in line to receive your choice
you can bet your ass, if you give it to them,
they will gladly take your voice
and it's a long way to the promised land
wo-oh oh oh oh
and it's a long way to the promised land
wo-oh oh oh oh
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
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
and it's a long way to the promised land
wo-oh oh oh oh
it's a long way to the promised land
wo-oh oh oh oh
what are you going to do?
when they call for you?
bend and capitulate?
or keep your head on straight?
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!
it's a long way to the promised land
wo-oh oh oh oh
it's a long way to the promised land
wo-oh oh oh oh
when you join the people who joined the club
(it's a long way to the promised land)

(it's a long way to the promised land)
cause the truth is just what you make of it
