FALSE PROMISES.
When you look around you start to dream
But everyday it's the same routine
nothing is handed to us on a plate
so we take our chances before it's too late
Without any cash you can buy on HP
Fill your life with anxiety

You use me up & you throw me away
What do you dream of everyday
False Promises,False promises
False Promises,False, promises

Enter the consumer world full of ideas
For a life free of money fears
Theres nothing better than to watch T.V
With it's Luxury, Glamour, sexuality
A temporary glimpse of an exclusive life
You don't dream of being a housewife

It's like feeding me skag everyday
But I don't get very much say
False promises, False promises
False Promises, False promises

Your lust is for High society
no real love just a false fantasy
the magic box is your tv screen
it draws you in & turns you green
Is it what it's cracked up to be?
Give us an option then we can see

You use me up & you throw me away
What do you dream of everyday
False Promises,False promises
False Promises,False, promises
