Walk Away/MP3- Very rough!

You're a survivor from the promised land
They took your heart and they tied your hands
And all the people that you thought you knew
They look at you, yeah, they look at you...

I really don't know how help you no more
The price of  freedom is a fight with the law
Now don't you walk away, an' call it a draw
Don't away, no don't walk away...

Guitar pause

You're a believer in a god of stone
a house of priests and a tomb of bones
You climb the temples of eternal night
It's all a dream - you've gotta wake up and fight

We really don't wanna pray here no more
A dead messiah working over the poor
We smash the idol on the sacrificial floor
We walk away, yeah, we walk away

We walk away, yeah we walk away
We walk away, yeah we walk away
We walk away, yeah we walk away
We walk away...

Guitar pause
Instrumental

You wake up and see it's not your bed
It's not your house and  it's not your head
You're not a victim you're a mother's child
Get up and dance, yeah, you'll drive 'em wild

And now you see me for the very first time
An animal with a heart of crime
Let's leave the Promised Land and look for the sunshine
We walk away, yeah we walk away...

We walk away, yeah we walk away
We walk away, yeah we walk away
We walk away, yeah we walk away
We walk away...yeah we walk away

And now you see me for the very first time
An animal with a heart of crime
Let's leave the Promised Land and look for the sunshine
We walk away, yeah we walk away...

Guitar pause
