Broken Promises

(hmmm) You stood behind the wooden stand

With paper promises in hand

Signed your name, sold the dream

But nothing's ever what it seems

And the ink begins to fade away

As the ink is drying on the page

Another speech, another empty word

The loudest lie we ever heard

You built the stage,

you played the part

And left us in the dark

Behind the heavy office door

You plan your strategies for war But the cameras never capture pain

Of broken promises in the rain (yeah)

Another speech, another empty word

The loudest lie we ever heard

You built the stage,

you played the part

And left us in the dark

No more words

No more empty signs (hmmm)
