Cass McCombs - Empty Promises lyrics
[Cass McCombs - Empty Promises lyrics]
Like any force of nature
You can't be controlled
The spirit disappears before you grab a hold
Say it again, I like the sound of that
Whispers nothings
Another new toy for the brat
Sweet honey, tell me where you stand
Empty promises to you from Pan
Like any force of nature, you can't be denied
How much spirit has industry supplied?
Over five hundred years since
The bitch arrived
We still can't find a decent place to hide
Play the song on through a broken string
Empty promises of hope and things
Like any force of nature, you are dangerous
What mortal cannot lose it's spirit thus?
Smother our mother’s generation
Whose idleness destroyed our glorious nation
Punk was not severe enough
For empty promises force fed in youth to us
This song is short, mean, and overplayed
To take it in stride, well, that’s okay
Aha, empty promises!
You can't be controlled
The spirit disappears before you grab a hold
Say it again, I like the sound of that
Whispers nothings
Another new toy for the brat
Sweet honey, tell me where you stand
Empty promises to you from Pan
Like any force of nature, you can't be denied
How much spirit has industry supplied?
Over five hundred years since
The bitch arrived
We still can't find a decent place to hide
Play the song on through a broken string
Empty promises of hope and things
Like any force of nature, you are dangerous
What mortal cannot lose it's spirit thus?
Smother our mother’s generation
Whose idleness destroyed our glorious nation
Punk was not severe enough
For empty promises force fed in youth to us
This song is short, mean, and overplayed
To take it in stride, well, that’s okay
Aha, empty promises!
