Lyrics Promise - Throwback

Take a dose of every day
How am I supposed to stay
In a world built of empty ways
Where lessons are all the rage?
Hey yeah.
Hey Mister won't you tell me your disease
You dream in green but honestly
You've got generations down on their knees
But won't make no guarantees.
Hey yeah

I've waited
I've faded
I have made my stand
I'm breaking
You're takin
Promise from my hand.

Doctor, doctor tell me who's to blame
When all the pretty strangers start to look the same
And the cameras gathering up the shame
But no one ever knows their name?
Hey yeah
Its not always what you know but
Its better when your wisdom grows
Its not always what you know but
You better know where your wisdom grows.

I've waited
I've faded
I have made my stand
I'm breaking
You're takin
Promise from my hand.
