Текст песни Golden Promises - Born Ruffians

When was it promised to be good?
When did the sunlight turn to gold?

When I'm halfway around the sun
With a hash pipe and a machine gun

Oh Lord, shoot me / Oh Lord, shoot me

Soon

True beauty always has a cost
Self-reflection always shows a loss

And the mirror begins to suck
As the ego becomes unstuck
And you dance and you drink and fuck
And you use up your allotted luck

Beautifully self-absorbed
Throw all your friends overboard

We were halfway out the mud
When the levee released the flood
And the water turned into blood
Failing promises made a thud.
