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 - !@(^s 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
