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
