Raised On Promises Lyrics - Sam Phillips

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 

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 

Land of the known 

Free of the brave 

They sell us ourselves 

The center has moved 

And water bleeds from broken faces 

Raised on promises
