Sunrise grind coffee strong Another day another dollar gone Work my fingers to the bone Still feel like I'm all alone Empty promises they whisper in my ear Empty promises they fill me up with fear Empty promises they shine so bright and bold Empty promises leave me out in the cold Boss man smiles says "good job kid" A little bonus that he hid Bills pile up the rent is due What's a working guy to do Empty promises they whisper in my ear Empty promises they fill me up with fear Empty promises they shine so bright and bold Empty promises leave me out in the cold They say save up for a rainy day But every day feels kinda gray Where's my golden parachute Just a tired old worn out boot Empty promises they whisper in my ear Empty promises they fill me up with fear Empty promises they shine so bright and bold Empty promises leave me out in the cold
