[ Featuring
the Cooks ]
They came from all around for a better life in the States
They came from all around
To get away from death and hate
But they didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
In Paris France you can see them sleeping in the streets
At Notre Dame they're selling junk and running from the cops
They surely didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
How has this happened
We've forgotten our own roots
How can we fooled
By shady news on Fox
How can we stop it Mon Dieu
Come on everybody, it's almost too late
In London town they came for jobs and money too
In London town, family and high street cool
But they surely didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
How has this happened
We've forgotten our own roots
How can we fooled
By shady news on Fox
How can we stop it Mon Dieu
Come on Everybody it's almost too late
To big Chi-town up by train looking for good work
The blues guys were electrifying petrifying, mom & pop
But they surely didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
But they surely didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
But they surely didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
But they surely didn't know
This ain't no promised land anymore
