Lyrics:

They built the city halls and streets, that the people would walk in
They made promises and guilt was never far away
Why is it that people believe?
And why is it that people pay?
Why is it that sugar is sweet?
Like a devil in disguise they say

I won't make fake promises to you, he said
I won't lie all the time like mothers and fathers do
Won't make it all good just for you, he said
Better learn to cope before it gets too hard on you

Please let the music play
Put a soundtrack to this reck
I got a friend here who don't wan' to stay
Get on a boat and sail away
How did I get so old so fast?
Where did the brother and the sisters go?
I told you that the love wouldn't last
Just like the rest, it'll pass

I won't make fake promises to you, he said
I won't lie all the time like mothers and fathers do
Won't make it all good just for you, he said
Better learn to cope before it gets too hard on you

I won't make fake promises to you, he said
I won't lie all the time like mothers and fathers do
Won't make it all good just for you, he said
Better learn to cope before it gets too hard on you
