Promises Hollow - Pulling Punches Lyrics

The powerful shall tell their lies
But we all know they're undignified
Convincing us that things can't last
But everything has come to pass
As time ticks by reform is but a notion
Backed by hollow promises and devotion
Controlled by the woes of calloused men
We genuflect to their unrighteous ways
They wave their iron fist over the land
The land that they once promised they would save
The powerless will speak the truth
As prophets push bullshit as news
Advocating for those without a voice
We're the fleeting, few and far between without a choice
As time ticks by reform is but a notion
Backed by hollow promises and devotion
Controlled by the woes of calloused men
We genuflect to their unrighteous ways
They wave their iron fist over the land
The land that they once promised they would save
It's time we quit pulling our punches
And fight for our right to make a change
Controlled by the woes of calloused men
We genuflect to their unrighteous ways
They wave their iron fist over the land
The land that they once promised they would save
