James – Promised Land lyrics

I'll settle down and watch some television
Watch the news
Confronted by an ugly politician
And her ugly views

I don't belong here
I don't belong here
In your promised land
In your promised land

She is at the scene of every disaster
Shaking hands
Circling the corpses like a vulture
Coming into land

I don't belong
Here, I don't belong
Here, in your promised land
In your promised land

Never tell the truth
Look them in the eye
Soften up the voice
Justify a lie
Smother us in blue
Smother us in rust
Images are true
Images we trust
Promise us a home
Sell us what we own
Give the dog a bone
Dog a, dog a bone
You are the one
Ever so strong
Never be wrong
Never be wrong

The people of my country are divided
By her greed
Money is directed to ambition
Not to need
Now the scum is really floating to the surface
Of the sea
Everything she touches is infected
Including me

I don't belong here
I don't belong here
In your promised land
