Broken Promise Land - Elvis Costello[00:00:01]
There's a place[00:00:20]
Where words mean nothing or much less[00:00:21]
Such a disgrace[00:00:26]
We got to get out of this mess[00:00:29]
Coming in under the cover of darkness[00:00:32]
How high shall we build this wall [00:00:37]
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless[00:00:40]
How hard did I slam that door [00:00:44]
I swore I'd never walk away[00:00:49]
Until I saw this day[00:00:53]
It didn't turn out the way we planned[00:00:56]
Now I'm living in[00:01:00]
Broken Promise Land[00:01:02]
Broken Promise Land[00:01:14]
There's a town I know[00:01:27]
Has a strange resemblance to Jericho[00:01:29]
Even though[00:01:35]
Seven horns are getting ready to blow[00:01:37]
Coming in under the cover of darkness[00:01:40]
How high shall we build this wall [00:01:44]
Could've said more but it would've seemed heartless[00:01:48]
How tight shall we close that door [00:01:52]
They only claimed to be redeemed[00:01:56]
They take that name and then blaspheme[00:02:00]
It didn't turn out the way we planned[00:02:04]
Now I'm living in[00:02:08]
Broken Promise Land[00:02:09]
Broken Promise Land[00:02:21]
There's a place[00:02:50]
Where infidels and showgirls meet[00:02:51]
Such a disgrace[00:02:57]
Wedding bells crumble in the street[00:03:00]
Coming in under the cover of darkness[00:03:03]
How high shall we build this wall [00:03:07]
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless[00:03:11]
How tight shall we shut that door [00:03:15]
In the name of the Father and the Son[00:03:19]
In the name of gasoline and a gun[00:03:23]
It didn't turn out the way we planned[00:03:27]
Now I'm living in[00:03:31]
Broken Promise Land[00:03:32]
