Promise

from Not Nothing by Jared Cohen

/

lyrics

it comes on slow and then all happens at once
just like everything always does
you can try your best to change everything it was
but you’ll only end up plodding through the mud

you make it seem so hard
to imagine we might not be exceptional

i don’t want to hear the stories anymore
they always end with us so proud, victorious in war
sometimes now i question what's it all been for
it doesn’t seem like we’re living up to the promise anymore
and i’m realizing we never did

people out in the streets shouting to be heard
but we’ve seen this all before, the vision isn’t blurred
batons on the old men, batons on the young women
take a beating for your rights, it’s absurd
