John Fogerty's "Weeping In The Promised Land"



"Weeping In The Promised Land"

A watery new well been poisoned with lies
Weeping in the promised land
Satan's dark angels are falling from the sky
Weeping in the promised land
Children of God, he turns into stone
Sick and the weak, he dancing on their bones
Pharaoh shouting down the medicine man
Weeping in the promised land

If I could talk Beirut, behold, he comes to speak
Weeping in the promised land
History spewing, it's power that he seeks
Weeping in the promised land
With dread in their eyes, all the nurses are crying
So much sorrow, so much damned
Pharaoh keep a-preaching but he never had a plan
Weeping in the promised land
Weeping in the promised land

And say weeping, weeping
Weeping in the promised land
And say weeping, weeping
Weeping in the promised land

Pharaoh's army knocking on the door
Weeping in the promised land
Shoot you in your bed just like they done before
Weeping in the promised land
Out in the street, on your neck with a knee
All the people are crying your last words
"I can't breathe"
And why just say there'd been no crime here today
Weeping in the promised land
Weeping in the promised land

And say weeping, weeping
Weeping in the promised land
And say weeping, weeping
Weeping in the promised land
Well weeping, weeping
Weeping in the promised land
Yeah, weeping, weeping
Weeping in the promised land
