Calling up the promised land Johnny Seven's coming over the sea He's taking your time When you want to be free Holding out a helping hand Are you ready for a real career? Will you be so cool When it's happening here? It don't say nothing that I haven't heard If what I hear is true You won't keep the law with a broken word So what are you going to do? Heart like a wheel Turning away from anything that's real Heart like a wheel Changing in time, beating colder steel Pass the message around the world The medium is in retreat The power is here And packing some heat Sell your soul to a holy war Set the captive free We make no promises anymore But it isn't fooling me Heart like a wheel Turning away from anything that's real Heart like a wheel Changing in time, beating colder steel You can't keep the wheels turning anymore With anger, blood and fear Or make any friends with an M16 When you blast your way through here Heart like a wheel Turning away from anything that's real Heart like a wheel Changing in time, beating colder steel Heart like a wheel Turning away from anything that's real Heart like a wheel Changing in time, beating colder steel Heart like a wheel Turning away from anything that's real Heart like a wheel Driving the world is going to be a steal
