It's a long way to heaven
|
It's a short way to hell
|
Painkillers won't help
|
When the weight's not yourself
|
They're poisoning the air
|
For personal wealth
|
It's a long way to heaven
|
It's a short way to hell
|
I don't know what I'm breathing for
|
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
|
The weatherman says "fair"
|
But he looks like a lie
|
Nothing's free in this country
|
And there's no place to hide....no more
|
Industrial wind
|
It blows from the west
|
It'll burn out your eyes
|
And suck out your breath
|
It's waiting in the wings
|
For damage down the line
|
Save your tears for the soaps
|
Leave your money behind
|
I don't know what I'm breathing for
|
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
|
The weatherman says "fair"
|
But he looks like a lie
|
Nothing's free in this country
|
And there's no place to hide no more
|
No place to hide....no more
|
