Promises

Nothin' disappoints me like the news
Nothin' disappoints me
Nothing's gonna hit you like the truth
Nothing's gonna hit you
Silly reporter
You're just followin' orders
Closin' your eyes and tellin' lies
While they're taking our daughters

Nobody been keepin' their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keepin' 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 livin' in the dark ages

Nobody been keepin' their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keepin' their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises

Nobody been keepin' their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keepin' 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 keepin' their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keepin' their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises

Nobody been keepin' their promises
Somebody better keep their promises
Nobody been keepin' their promises
Need somebody to keep their promises
