  My people came out of the forests and the mountains unto this un-promising land
A                                C                   F              A
  Scratched out a living in this desert valley, hard living for any man

  It weren't no Eden, as cold as Sweden, like Hades in the summer time
A                     C                   F                             A
  We built the cities, we dug the ditches, we picked the fruit from the vine

  Skip forward four generations, comes a great first world nation, but I'm living in the third

Trying to make a living, playing on my SG Gibson, yending bar and sometimes selling herb

  We live like serfs, in this new feudal land, we pay the bills and fight the wars
