Promises, Promises

A year ago I had a year to go
And now I blame it on rock and roll
It's not the same as it used to be. I know
I said I'd never let it get to me
And now its everywhere the eye can see
And it's taken over everything I know
I'm sad to see your disappointment
But I'm losing my grip
Can we turn back the hands of time?
Can we stand up and join the fight?
We are the spark that ignites (your haunted eyes)
Write a check and we'll sell you out
Isn't that what it's all about?
Face down, we drown with intent to sell
Here's the option: do or die
And you take it in the blink of an eye
Then just like that it's f*ckin gone, man
They say it's all about the music
But I ain't hearing anything
Can we turn back the hands of time?
Can we stand up and join the fight?
We are the spark that ignites (your haunted eyes)
