Artist/Band: Nazareth
Lyrics for Song: Milk And Honey
Lyrics for Album: Sound Elixir [1983]



Welcome to the land of milk and honey

This is where your braves died to be free

Living in those days for love or money

Left your heart and soul at wounded knee



History and time are all you have now

You were free from sea to shining sea

But that's no matter to the folks who live here

You only ride your ponies on t.v.



We've got everything you'll ever need

We've got everything you'll ever need

eEverything you'll ever need



America, America

America, America



All your pride was wasted ain't that funny

You never tried to bite the feeding hand

Welcome to this land of milk and honey

Where they keep you fenced on burning sand



War dance for the customers on fridays

Birthrights up for sale in tourist stores

Carved your land and faces on your mountains

Crazy horse can never tie the score



We've got everything you'll ever need

We've got everything you'll ever need

Everything you'll ever need



America, America

America, America

America, America

America, America


About Milk And Honey

Recorded during a period when the group was refining their sound beyond their earlier heavy metal roots, the song features the distinctive, gritty vocals of lead singer Paul Jones. It captures the raw energy and melodic sensibility that characterized their work in the early 1980s, appealing to fans of the genre who appreciate its straightforward, powerful delivery. The recording reflects the era's shift toward a more polished yet authentic rock aesthetic, cementing Nazareth's legacy in the British rock canon. This track remains a staple for those exploring the band's discography and the broader landscape of 1980s English rock music.
