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
