Turned Out Lies - Lyrics by Spirit Of The West


Lyrics
i remember a promise for a new tomorrowi remember a promise to save our youthi remember security for our agingbut when you made the puddingyou left out all the proofi seem to  recall you mentioning the word hopei seem to recall you mentioning solutionsyou made it sound like an angelhad landed on our doorstepthen gave us more like two steps backthan any evolutionyour empty promises are filling people's headsyou have us crawling round in circlesinstead of walking straight aheadi remember what you passed for truthit  turned out liesyes i remember what you saidi made you a promise for a new tomorrowi made you a promise to share our youthi promised you security through our agingbut when i made the pudding lovei left out all the proofi seem to recall you mentioning the word trustu seen to recall you mentioning devotioni made it sound like god's gifthad landed on your doorstepthen gave you more like two steps backthan any evolutionmy empty promises were filling up your headi had us crawling round in circlesinstead of walking straight aheadi remember what you took for truthti turned out lies insteadyes i remember what i saidpromise promise here's a little promiselove and that i'll keep for surelove and that i'll keep for surelove and that i'll keep for surelove and that i'll keep for surei remeber,  i rememberi remeber,  i rememberi know you're through with broken promisesi know you're through with broken plansand broken dreamsi know you're through with broken promisesi know you're through with broken promises
