Four Mile Circus - Promises and Lies Lyrics

Find your place
In old remains
Mother she sold
Her boys both for gold
They sailed across the tides
They saw everything and nothing but
Promises and lies

Yellowed skinned
And the law says
White man wins your
Freedom to buy and sell
To trade on the lives of your kin
Work them in the fields till they die
They saw everything and nothing but
Promises and lies

And the boys that were joined by the side
When two are strong but can't divide
Two becomes one life entwined
They saw everything in promises and lies

Lay down you head
My brother be well
Now gone's your life
Next will be mine
Mother she sold
Her boys both for gold
Shared one mind
They saw everything and nothing but
Promises and lies
