Long Way from Paradise

We got loud guitars and a rockin' band Ain't gonna stop until you understand There's a whole world of evil in the heart of man It's a far, far cry from Caanan's land It's a Long Way from Paradise We got carbon monoxide and acid rain Designer drugs that can melt your brain We got drive by murder, the mark of Cain Neo - nazis and the K.K.K. It's a Long Way from Paradise Long Way from Paradise Long Way from Paradise You can play it safe, or role the dice But the heart of the city is as cold as ice It's a Long Way from Paradise You know the thief on the cross didn't have much time Had a talk with Jesus on the day He died He said "Forgive me Lord for a life of crime" Got a guarantee in the nick of time He was a Long Way from Paradise
