Lyrics

Staring out the window at the man next-door Doing everything he can do to endure There's confusion all over his face Guess he kind of feels he's a little out of place Got a funny feeling he's trying to hide Wonder if we'll ever get to come outside Must be hard just trying to be a man When you're trying to make it in the promised land In the promised land Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah City streets just crawlin' with life But nobody wants to share the spotlight One man beggin' says he just wants food Another man telling him to bend the rules What about the girl who just turned 15 20 million things that she wants to be Living in the streets doing everything she can Trying to survive in the promise land Guess it all makes sense Guess it's the thing to do Somewhere underneath it all It's trying to talk to you But you keep running from the truth Running as fast as you can But there's only one place to go To the promised land Promises promises Promises promises Promises promises Promises promises Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah There's an old man who walks the streets Trying to talk to anybody he sees People walkin' by never listen to a word I Wonder one day if you'll ever be heard Gotta be something going on in his mind Guess you'll never know if we never take the time And it seems kind of sad the way it is in the promised land Guess it all makes sense Guess it's the thing to do Somewhere underneath it all It's trying to talk to you But you keep running from the truth Running as fast as you can But there's only one place to go To the promised land Promises promises Promises promises Promises promises Promises promises Just another face Trying to find a place Doing all you can To reach the promise land Never see the signs But in the back of your mind There's gotta be a plan To reach the promise land The promise land Promises promises Promises promises Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
