the promised land

[P3nT4gR4m]

I ripped apart my bill of rights to serve
I threw away my currency
sometimes I think I got what I deserved
but they never got the best of me

they laughed at all my screams
pissed on all my dreams
but they couldn't put the fire out

I wasted every chance they gave
to shut up and behave
and fill my pretty cave
with all that I could save

They said this was the promised land
I told them they'd been had


But I rage against them quietly
so they don't kick the bullshit out me
when everybody's wrong
it's you that don't belong

So I laugh at their insanity
from the sidelines
I smile as all their plans burn to the ground

As empires rise and fall
and few ears heed the call
they think it's a catastophe
with their backs against the wall

They fight to save the promised land
til there's nothing left to save
