Lyrics
Get em custom made, if you're buying
They're sellin' em to ya cheap
Political Promises - crowdin' your mind with illusion
Well you only believe what you want to believe
Inflicting religious conditioning
Well history was such a mystery
Got thumped on the head with a bible
Lying in the sand, waiting for the promised land
Promises, promises - dead on arrival
I get no kicks from broken promises
Promises, promises - the rule of survival
Got the list of broken promises, won't shoot me down
So, the salesman stuck you with swampland He beat your ass - it's too bad
That reptile wants your flesh and blood
If you do him in, you go on trial They swore to be lovers, not rivals Mom and dad broke their wedding vows
Now the homeless, left out on the street,
They're living a nightmare - the Amencan dream
Promises, promises - dead on arrival
I get no kicks from broken promises
Promises, promises - the rule of survival
Got the list of broken promises, won't shoot me down
