It's a long way to Heaven
A short way to Hell
Pain killers won't help
In a way it's not yourself
They're poisoning the air
For personal wealth
It's a long way to Heaven
And a short way to Hell.
I don't know
What I'm breathin' for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says fair
But he looks like a liar
Nothin's free in this country
When there's no place to hide no more.
An industrial wind
It blows from the West
It'll burn-out your eyes
And suck-out your breath
It's waitin' in the wings
The damage down the line
Save your tears for the soaps
Leave your money behind
I don't know
What I'm breathin' for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says fair
But he looks like a liar
Nothin's free in this country
When there's no place to hide no more.
