Promises

(album: Healer - 2020)

Nothing disappoints me like the news, nothing disappoints me
Nothing's gonna hit you like the truth, nothing's gonna hit you
Through a reporter
You're just following orders
Closing your eyes and telling lies while they're taking our daughters

Nobody been keeping their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises

I got news for you, Uncle Sam
I got no use for you
You're just another made up man in a stupid costume
Here comes a magician and he's got no tricks
Wants to cut the ladies in half
He ain't seen the future like we all did
'Cause he's living in the dark ages

Nobody been keeping their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises

How many bullets does it take
To put a hole in the light?
They keep telling us we have to wait
We ain't got the time
Every day's a cheat day, a cheat day
Put on by a cheapskate, a cheapskate
We're all in a deep state, a deep state
A deep state of delusion

Nobody been keeping their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keeping their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises
