Promise

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.
