EAGLES lyrics : "Long Road Out Of Eden"

Moon shining down through the palms
Shadows moving on the sand
Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm

Dusty rifle in his trembling hands

Somebody trying just to stay alive

He got promises to keep
Over the ocean in america
Far away and fast asleep


Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by

Galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
But it's a long road out of eden


Music blasting from an suv
On a bright and sunny day

Rolling down the interstate
In the good ol' usa


Having lunch at the petroleum club
Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives
He said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!"

"gimme 'nother piece o' that pecan pie!"

Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune

We're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains

But it's a long road out of eden

Back home i was so certain

The path was very clear
But now i have to wonder: "what are we doing here?"
I'm not counting on tomorrow

And i can't tell wrong from right
But i'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight


Weaving down the american highway
Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda

And now we're driving dazed and drunk

Been down the road to damascus,

The road to mandalay
Met the ghost of caesar on the appian way
He said, "it's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste."

"but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."

Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools

But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
And it's a long road out of eden....
