[00:00:19] Music

[00:01:32] Moon shinning down through the palms

[00:01:37] Shadows moing on the sand

[00:01:43] Somebody shispering the Twenty-Third Tsalm

[00:01:49] Dusty rifle in his trembling hands

[00:01:55] Somebody tring just to stay alive

[00:02:00] He got promsises to keep

[00:02:06] Over the ocean in America

[00:02:13] Far away and fast asleep

[00:02:18] Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky

[00:02:29] Cold silver satellites,ghostly caravans passing by

[00:02:41] Galaxies unfolding;new worlds being born

[00:02:47] Pilgrims and prodigals creeping towrd the dawn

[00:03:01] But it's a long road out of Eden

[00:03:12] Music blasting from an SUV

[00:03:18] On a bright and sunny day

[00:03:23] Rolling down the interstate

[00:03:29] In the good ol'USA

[00:03:34] Having lunch at the petroleum club

[00:03:40] Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lies

[00:03:45] "Gimme 'nother slice o'that barbecued brisket!"

[00:03:51] "Gimme 'nothing piece o' that pecan pie!"

[00:03:57] Freeways flickering,cell phones chiming a tune

[00:04:08] We're riding to Utopia;road map says we'll be arriving soon

[00:04:20] Captains of the old order clinging to the reins

[00:04:26] Assuring us these aches inside are only crowing pains

[00:04:32] But it's a long road out of Eden

[00:05:01] Back home I was so certain

[00:05:04] The path was very clear

[00:05:07] But now I have to wander:What are we doing here?

[00:05:12] I'm not counting on tomorrow

[00:05:15] And I can't tell wrong from right

[00:05:18] But I'd give anthing to be there in your arms tonight

[00:07:04] Weaving down the American highway

[00:07:10] Through the litter and the wrechage and the cultural junk

[00:07:15] Bloated with entitlement;loaded on propaganda

[00:07:22] And now we're driving dazed and drunk

[00:07:26] Been down the road to Damascus,the road to Mandalay

[00:07:33] Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way

[00:07:38] He said,"It's hard to stop this bingeing,once you get a taste."

[00:07:45] "But the road to empire is a bloody,stupid waste."

[00:07:51] Behold the bitten apple-the power of the tools

[00:07:56] But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools

[00:08:02] And it's a long road out of Eden

[00:08:25] end
