Title: Promised Land
Words Debra Lee & Rick Denzien Music By: Rick Denzien
Nine to five turned twenty-four seven
To make ends meet and earn a livin'
Then she saw her dream house on a Facebook ad
For a small investment with a real estate man
Left her job at corporate last winter
To move south who knew it was in her
Cash the 401 K ‘cause she's got a plan
Gonna find her dream in the Promised Land
In the land of good n plenty
She/He can have it all if you got the money
With a line of credit and three hundred grand
She can buy her/his dream
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land
First one in his family in college
He made 'em pound he had the knowledge
Got a great invention grabbed the golden ring
Found a few investors for riches profits bring
Had it all the big house and Beemer
The market crashed and things got leaner
Hijack product now a knock-off China brand
When he sold his dream in the Promised Land
In the land of milk and honey
You can have it all if you got the money
Takes a million to kick-start a business plan
And you can lose your dream
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land
Can't escape the state religion
Goes by the name consumerism
You can even buy the preach'en
Making this decree
Purchase now pays it later
Win your field of dreams
In the land of sacred money
You can screw / rule everyone
If you got plenty
With a few billion dollars at your command
You can call the shots
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land - land
In the Promised Land
Nine to five turned twenty-four seven
To make ends meet and earn a livin'
Gaz-n at the stars
And try to understand
I’ll never give up dreamin' –
In the Promised Land
Promised Land
