For a long, long time
I’ve lived my life
Looking for a better one
Been pushed and shoved
Left out in the cold
Baking in the hot sun
There ain't no one
Who even cares
How I got here
Or what I’ve done
Listening to the sounds at night
They're so different in the park
Trying to find a secret place
To sleep alone in the dark
I wake up in the freeze
Nothing to keep away the breeze
My wife and kids I do miss
How did my life come to this?
Caught up in this Promised Land
Who's gonna look out for me
Every day that keeps slipping by
Is one more day closer to death you see
But this wasn't the master plan
All of my life while growing up
They took my money in a promise scam
To one day give it all back to me
When I grow old
I'll have a place that's warm
A place that I can call my own
A place for you and me
The kids and our dog
What’s his name
The dream...the dream
Oh the master plan
How did my life come to this?
Caught up in this Promised Land
There ain't no one
Who even cares
How I got here
Or what I’ve done
Oh been pushed and shoved
Left out in the cold
Baking in the hot sun
When I grow old
I'll have a place that's warm
A place for you and me
A place that I can call my own
Who's gonna look out for me
Every day that keeps slipping by
Is one more day closer to death you see
For a long, long time
Ya I’ve lived my life
Looking for a better one
Caught up in this Promised Land
They took my money in a promise scam
To one day give it all back to me
And here I am
Caught up in this Promised Land
How did my life...come to this?
How did my life...come...to this
How did my life...come...to...this
