My girlfriends in Albania
My ex-wifes in Tasmania
And Im in Transylvania
With the vampires all around.
My brothers in Saskatchewan
My sisters in Afghanistan
Still looking for the Promised Land
But the kingdom lies within.
My mothers still in vanity
Im part of her insanity
My father died some years ago
But I still pray for his soul
Now everyones a refugee
On this planet purgatory
We only find reality
In the land of the chosen few
I still get lost in wild imagination
I need to wake up to reality
Ive had enough of identifaction
What can be done for a fool like me
In the land, in the land,
In the land of the chosen few
In the land, in the land,
In the land of the chosen few
Love is gonna set me free
I was dreaming of the Promised Land
Where people understand
Real love and harmony
And I knew that I had found my way
We were singing songs of innocence
And experience of love and harmony
And I knew that I was here to stay
In the middle of a cool, cool night
I woke up and I saw the light
In the land, in the land....
and repeat Em to A through to end.
