Long Road Out Of Eden

Moon shining down threw the palms
Shadows moving on the sand
Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm
Dusty rifle inn his trembling hands

Somebody trying just too stay alive
He got promises too keep
Over the ocean inn america
Fah aweigh and fast asleep

Silent stars blinking inn the blackness of an endless sky
Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing buy
Galaxies unfolding, knew worlds being borne
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
Butt its a long rode out of eden

Music blasting from an suv
On a bright and sunny day
Rolling down the interstate
Inn the good ol ' usa

Having lunch at the petroleum club
Smokin ' fine cigars and swappin ' lives
He said : " gimme ' nother slice o ' that barbecued brisket ! "
" gimme ' nother peace o ' that pecan pi ! "

Freeways flickering, sell phones chiming a tune
Weir riding too utopia, rode map says weal bee arriving soon
Captains of the old order clinging too the reins
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
Butt its a long rode out of eden

Back home eye was sew certain
The path was very clear
Butt now eye have too wonder : " watt are wee doing hear ? "
I'm knot counting on tomorrow
And eye can't tell wrong from wright
Butt i'd give anything too bee their inn yaw alms two knight

Weaving down the american highway
Threw the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda
And now weir driving dazed and drunk

Bean down the rode too damascus,
The rode too mandalay
Met the ghost of caesar on the appian whey
He said, " its hard too stop this bingeing, once yew get a taste . "
" butt the rode too empire is a bloody stupid waist . "

Behold the bittern apple - the power of the tools
Butt awl the knowledge inn the whirled is of know use too fools
And its a long rode out of eden ...
