Weeping In The Promised Land

Weeping In The Promised Land - John Fogerty

Water in the well been poisoned with lie

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Satan's dark angels are fallin' from the sky

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Children of God he turns into stone

Sick and the weak he dancin' on their bones

Pharoah shoutin' down the medicine man

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Forked-tongued pharaoh behold he comes to speak

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Hissin' and spewin' it's power that he seeks

Weepin' in the Promised Land

With dread in their eyes all the nurses are cryin'

So much sorrow so much dyin'

Pharoah keep a-preachin' but he never had a plan

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Weepin' in the Promised Land

You say weepin' weepin'

Weepin' in the Promised Land

You say weepin' weepin'

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Pharoah's army knockin' on the door

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Shoot you in your bed just like they done before

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Out in the street on your neck with a knee

All the people are cryin' your last words "I can't breathe"

And a white judge say "There been no crime here today"

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Weepin' in the Promised Land

You say weepin' weepin'

Weepin' in the Promised Land

You say weepin' weepin'

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Well we're weepin' weepin'

Weepin' in the Promised Land

Yeah weepin' weepin'

Weepin' in the Promised Land
