The promise was made (Rock)

The promise was made Now it's a workday Time for that coffee I can't be late Some day I will be free Gather up myself And get out that door Today is the day I am asking for more I am not being greedy Just want to get ahead I am so tired Where is that bed The promise was made A price will be paid Day after day Same old grind If I slow down I will fall behind How long can I do this My body is getting old Wanted that new shiny thing I just need to sell my soul Sleep is a fleeting The alarm is a ringing Worrying about the future The noise in head is a singing They say save for the future Living is just all consuming There is nothing left I should be booming The promise was made A price will be paid When we get old There will be a safety net Now they are saying We have to much debt The powers to be It's time to act We will not be silent That is a fact We can't be distracted Look at that Keep on spinning We can smell a rat You got yours I want mine Mine is yours We are not blind This is fair warning You have been alerted The dream was real Now it has been perverted The promise was made A price will be paid The promise was made A price will be paid
