Promised Land

<br> <br> I'm getting old, It's getting cold<br> Every minute ticking by Is like a fire on the freeway<br> You haven't seen the last of me But my best is already in the can<br> Yeah you've got a lot of stuff<br> Wax that face with your powder puff<br> I'm just fine Walking down the line<br> You can hear the dogs tearing up the other side<br> I'm ok you are just all right<br> Nothing ever really goes as you planned<br> In your polluted little promised land<br> <br> I woke today Or maybe it was yesterday<br> The hangovers They run together anyway<br> I brushed my teeth and scraped my tongue<br> And I staggered through the door To greet the day<br> Maybe Mondays wouldn't be so hairy<br> If I was locked in a monastery<br> I'm just fine Walking down the line<br> You can hear the dogs tearing up the other side<br> I'm ok you are all jacked up<br> Nothing ever really goes as you planned<br> In your polluted little promised land<br> <br> Salaam Aleichem and the altar boy is buggered and blessed<br> And the sun is coming up in the west<br> And the stains on the senator's vest<br> Go unconfessed Praise the lord and polish up the sacred cow<br> Pack the van with the diesel and manure now<br> Everybody needs something pretty to believe<br> Hey I'll meet you at the Muslim bakery<br> I got a body stashed in the rafters<br> Just a little taste of the hereafter<br> I'm just fine Walking down the line<br> You can hear the dogs tearing up the other side<br> I'm ok you are all jacked up<br> Nothing ever really goes how you want<br> In your bloated little Babylon <br>
