Intro

x2

 River Jordan, won't you wake my pharaoh,

 so we can teach my people to walk the straight and narrow,

 Come lie beside me in a horse-drawn carriage,

 dragged through the thorns past the morgue past the palace,

Oh lord i want to go, back to the land that i once knew,

 far past these fields of bloody snow,

 back to the sand, back to the sand, back home again,

x4

 Fuck the news,

 Fuck the house of blues,

 Fuck my whole career, you don't want me here,

 Let me know, where my loved ones go,

 it's not fair to keep 'em here,

 tell me what i did,

 and take me back, to where no world was black,

 before the sun was made, a pigment in the shade,

oh, oh lord i want to go, back to the land i once knew,

 far past these fields of bloody snow,

 back to the sand, back to the sand, back home again,
