Her face is cracked from smiling
All the fears that she's been hiding
And it seems that pretty soon everybody's gonna know

And her voice is sore from shouting
Cheering winners that are losing
Worries that their days are few
And soon they'll have to go-oh
Yeah!

My, my, my, I'm so happy
Gonna join the band
We're gonna sing and dance in celebration
We're in the promised land

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in
Then wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door

Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell
Yeah yeah
My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
Gonna dance and sing in celebration
In the promised land

[Guitar solo]

There's a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination
But the price you pay to nowhere
Has increased a dollar
Yes, it has
If you walk, you're gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer
See it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan
Moan, moan

[Guitar solo]
