Lyrics
Long ago in a far away country
Foreign places, foreign lives
I did speak in a foreign language
Hearing what I liked to hear
But even in the Land of the Dragon
People conquered, people lied
I had hoped that things had changed by now
"Where ya goin'?" I asked a peasant
"To the hill where Wizard lives,
For a penny he'll tell your fortune,
For another, he'll make it good!"
So even in the Land of the Wizard
People followed while people led
I had hoped that honesty was truth
Don'tcha think that after all these centuries
People might have changed,
Changed just a little bit?
Don'tcha wonder what is wrong with us?
Long ago in a diff'rent country
Here's another chapter still
Wars continue and I grow tired
Of the anger that I see
So even in the Land of the Righteous
People murder, people stole
I had hoped that wisdom came with age
And don'tcha think that after all these centuries
People might have changed,
Changed just a little bit?
Don'tcha wonder what is wrong with us?
What can't we see, why don't we change, how can we live this way?
Just last week in a similar country
To the one I'm living in
"Black Man Killed By White Man's Hatred"
I can see the headline still
So even in the Land of the Living
People torture, people hate
I had hoped that things had changed by now
And don'tcha think…
