[Verse 1]
I don’t know what to say about these days
I’m seeing people changing in the strangest ways
Even in the richer neighborhoods
People don’t know when they’ve got it good
They’ve got the envy, and they’ve got it bad

[Verse 2]
When I was a kid everything I did was trying to be free
Running up and down Tinsel Town with the fire inside of me
My planet’s all in retrograde, the best of all my plans got laid
I made my breaks, and some mistakes
Just not the ones people think I made

Now I’m a long way gone
Down this wild road I’m on
It’s going to take me where I'm bound
But it’s the long way a- round

[Instrumental Fill] x2

[Verse 3]
It’s so hard keeping track of what’s gone wrong
The covenant unravels, and the news just rolls along
I could feel my memory letting go some two or three disasters ago
It’s hard to say which did more ill
Citizens United or the Gulf oil spill

And I’m a long way gone
Down this wild road I’m on
It’s going to take me where I'm bound
But it’s the long way a- round

[Instrumental Fill] x2

[Verse 4]
It’s never been that hard to buy a gun
Now they’ll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone
The seeds of trage- dy are there
In what we feel we have the right to bear
To watch our children come to harm
There in the safety of our arms
With all we disagree about
The passions burn, the heart goes out


And we’re a long way gone
Down this wild road we’re on
It’s going to take us where we’re bound
But it’s the long way a- round

[Instrumental Fill] x4
