Yesterday Lied

Yesterday lied when it said tomorrow would be easier
That we'd step outside into the air that was cool and breezier

But I'm still waiting for that coveted day to come
When it don't feel like it's all 'bout to come undone
I took those empty promises in stride
When yesterday lied

I hear those wolves out there howling
But they're still a few miles away
But soon enough they'll be at the door collecting on them bills to pay

But they'll just have to take a number and get in line
Behind their pack of friends that have already arrived
My application for credit has been denied
And yesterday lied

Yesterday's news don't really seem to be in the past anymore
There's people in the streets marching
Saying that they ain't gonna take anymore

But as I watch those monuments come crashing down
And hear those voices ringing out even in my hometown
It gives me faith in a better tomorrow we might find
Cuz yesterday lied
