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
