Promise

It's the age of reason, and everything is perfect!
I thank science for technology!
I don't know why you'd want to change the world
When we all have cars and we have freedom
And a TV in each room!
We have McDonald's, we have Disney
And we all support the troops!
So if you think the system is flawed in any way
Then just try love and yoga
Or move to North Korea!
It's the age of reason so reach across the aisle!

You never faced your fears
You always ran away
Someone that you know
Has walked through hell alone
And you couldn't be there with her, hold her hand
Because you couldn't look the fire in the eyes
But we remember when you promised
You would always fight for good if you got the chance
Were those only empty words?

And no one that you know
Has life as good as you
And you said you had work, you can't lend a hand
But we remember when you promised
You would help a friend in need if you had the chance
Were those only empty words?

You promised us
