It's a long way to heaven

It's a short way to hell

Painkillers won't help

When the weight's not yourself



They're poisoning the air

For personal wealth

It's a long way to heaven

It's a short way to hell



I don't know what I'm breathing for

'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore

The weatherman says fair

But he looks like a lie



Nothing's free in this country

And there's no place to hide, no more



Industrial wind

It blows from the west

It'll burn out your eyes

And suck out your breath



It's waiting in the wings

For damage down the line

Save your tears for the soaps

Leave your money behind



I don't know what I'm breathing for

'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore

The weatherman says fair

But he looks like a lie



Nothing's free in this country

And there's no place to hide, no more



No place to hide, no more
