Golden Future

One, two, three, four
Wow!
Take me down to a mudhole
I need to be in a place with some soul
Hey, I thought we're s'posed to have a good time
I'll show you yours if you show me mine
For every problem ever unsolved
How come we're still on the run from it all
With everything we touch
That much more turns to dust
The promise of a golden future
How many times did they break your heart
With nothing in return
Now we work the land
And wait for you to burn
Walk me down to vagrant street
I need to make a deposit
Oh, am I your favourite slave
Or am I just an apology
You watch the skull
As it cracks the bone
Smothered by the rules you made
Winking while we suffocate
Not so long ago
It almost felt like we had a home
With everything we touch
That much more turns to dust
The promise of a golden future
How many times did they break your heart
With nothing in return?
Now we work the land
And wait for you to burn
You and I versus them
Waiting for a vision
Nothing's working well
We haven't tried getting rid of 'em
Checked for poison
Now we laugh
Not so long ago
It almost felt like we had a home
But only yesterday
Found out that hate never goes away
With everything we touch
That much more turns to dust
The promise of a golden future
How many times did they break your heart
With nothing in return?
Now we work the land
With everything we touch
That much more turns to dust
The promise of a golden future
How many times did they break your heart
With nothing in return?
Now we work the land
And wait for you to burn
