Lyric Promises

what s the matter with my view?
is it something less than you think it should be?
what s the matter with the truth?
is there any of it left for us to see?

that s not the way it is supposed to be
that s not the meaning of equality

I don t want promises
I don t want condescending words from youyou can do most anything
as long as it s exactly how I say
opportunity is free
just make sure that you have enough to pay

so go on turn and walk away
I guess there s nothing left to say
I won t make the same mistakes
can t have it any other way

I see no honesty in promises you make
we ve been too tolerant and something has to change
