The happy time All our people are here All the gifts that they bring All the songs that we sing Hollow blessings will ring The killing time All the bystanders hide Everything on the slide Mad and tired inside Still a laugh of false pride Would it take that pretty smile away from your face Would it turn that pretty laughter into tears Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land Well there's just too many things I'm afraid to ask Lying time No more thought for a vow One more break of a bough One more voice asking how Who is listening now Would it take that pretty smile away from your face Would it turn that pretty laughter into tears Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land Well there's just too many things I'm afraid to ask Money time One more judge takes his price One more room filled with ice And sadistical vice One more child without voice Would it take that pretty smile away from your face Would it turn that pretty laughter into tears Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land Well there's just too many things I'm afraid to ask Is there still a need for sorrow in the promised land Will there always be tomorrow in the promised land Well there's just too many things I'm afraid to ask
