It's a Long Way to the Promise Land

"Leaders, politicians, and power whores Are in line to receive your choice ... if you give it to them, They will gladly take your voice"

• don't trust others to make your decisions for you; they don't know best for you, YOU do!

"When you join the people who've joined the club You've gotta clench, and play YOUR hand"

• when you're in with everyone else who's following, you've gotta do your own thing, your own way

"no substitute for enlightenment"

• other people's opinions are no substitute for your own knowledge, learning is better than listening

"easy answers bought without experience, Is gonna lead you to certain doom"

• answers from another source will doom you, so go experience it and make your own answers

"Because the truth is just what you make of it,"

• nobody else can tell you the way things are. you have to make your own mind up.

"What are you going to do?"

• central question of this whole song.
