Voodoo land

(c) Lyrics by Dov Hammer  Music by Andy Watts

​

Mama told papa pack up man

We're moving to the Promised Land

Just as soon as we hit these shores

They promised us peace and the welcome was war

 

Chorus:

Living on the shifting sands – down in voodoo land

Everyday you make a stand – down in voodoo land

Say goodbye say a prayer,

Sing of hope and talk despair

It's a wild ride to live down here

down in voodoo land

 

Grew up in a city of stone

Holy mountains and a valley of bones

Call it a land of milk and honey

Honey is milked by the men with the money

The Prophets rage on, the kings ignore

Covet all they see, always taking more

There's a storm blowing in, a change in the weather

Heads are rolling in the eastern deserts

​

Living on the shifting sands – down in voodoo land

Everyday you make a stand – down in voodoo land

Say goodbye say a prayer,

Sing of hope and talk despair

It's a wild ride to live down here

down in voodoo land

 

The rules are changing, troubling signs

Better think twice, don't speak your mind

Going to war over god and land

Dangerous times for a logical man

​

Living on the shifting sands – down in voodoo land

Everyday you make a stand – down in voodoo land

Say goodbye say a prayer,

Sing of hope and talk despair

It's a wild ride to live down here

down in voodoo land
