Building cage,
I can only study the blame,
I can think of a word for myself, but no name,
Question darts throw me to the dogs of progress, but they run from what really matters.
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises.
To the furnace for shade, to the dust for a drink,
Logic's mad, and shame doesn't care what you think,
The ocean's dry, it's only a phantom that you fathom, but the flood comes from the desert.
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises.
Land of the known, free of the brave,
They sell us ourselves,
The centre has moved, and water bleeds from broken faces.
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises,
Raised on promises.
