I don't know

what to say about these days

I'm seeing people changing

in the strangest ways

Even in the richer neighborhoods

People don't know when they got it good

They got the envy and they got it bad

When I was a kid everything

I did was trying to be free

Running up and down tinsel town

with the fire inside of me

My planets all in retrograde the best

of all my plans got made

I made my breaks and some mistakes

Just not the ones people think I made

I'm a long way gone down this wild road I'm on

It's gonna take me where I'm bound

It's a long way around

It's a little hard keeping track of

what's gone wrong

The covenant unravels and the news

just rolls along

I can feel my memory letting go some

two or three disasters ago

It's hard to say what did more ill

Citizens United or the Gulf Oil Spill

I'm a long way gone

down this wild road I'm on

It's gonna take me where I'm bound

It's a long way around

It's never been that hard to buy a gun

Now they'll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone

The seeds of tragedy are there and

What we feel we have the right to bear

And watch our children come to harm

There in the safety of our arms

We all disagree about

The passions burn heart goes out

We're a long way gone

Down this wild road we're on

It's going to take us where we're bound

It's just the long way around
