Something Broken in the Promised Land - Wayne Kramer

Some motherfucker

Is pissing on my grave

How much irrigation can I stand?

And the kids down the street are playin' with

Sub-machine guns

Something’s broken

In the promised land

A broken promise

In the promised land

My cat sings along with Neil Young records

How much more damage can I stand?

And the whole state of Michigan

Just signed up for welfare

Something’s broken

In the promised land

A broken promise

In the promised land

Something broken in the promised land

A mis-direction in the promised land

A lost connection in the promised land

Something broken

In the promised land

Well where’s Lee Oswald?

Now that we need him

I’ve seen all the lone gunmen

That I can stand

There’s a self improvement tape

Its called getting used to poverty

Something’s broken

In the promised land

A broken promise

In the promised land

Something broken in the promised land

The dream is sold out in the promised land

And the sidewalk’s cold out in the promised land

And we’re all going broke here

In the promised land

The promised land

The promised land

The rich get lazy in the promised land

And the poor get crazy in the promised land

And the vision fails in the promised land

And they’re building jails out here in the promised land

Its a busted deal here in the promised land

And this shit is real here in the promised land

And my chevy died here in the promised land

And Chuck Berry lied about the promised land

A broken promise

In the promised land
