Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pothead's song "Promised Land" reflect the human tendency of wanting and demanding more, even when they have everything. The first few lines of the song highlight this desire as the singer sings, "Cause You Want Everything And You Get What You Want And You Know Who You Are Cause You Are Everything." The lyrics reflect the idea of self-entitlement and how people feel that they deserve everything they want just because.


The second verse of the song reflects a similar idea - when someone wants something badly enough, they start believing that they know everything about the situation. The lyrics say, "Cause You Know Everything Cause You Want What You Don't Have When You Want Everything When You Know That You Are Right When They Don't Understand You Tell Them How To Think Cause You Know Everything Yes You Know Everything." It highlights the idea of pride and ego combined with insatiable greed.


The chorus of the song is repetitive and revolves around the phrase "Livin' In The Promised Land." While it may seem like the singer has attained everything they ever wanted, the lyrics reflect their never-ending need for more.


Overall, "Promised Land" is a satirical take on the human condition of always wanting more and never being satisfied with what they have.
