Last Century Promise Songtext

von The (International) Noise Conspiracy

Last century promised so much
-but look at us now when we are all grown up
-but all our heroes are dead or corrupt
-but our roles have all become outdated
-and our ideas are all just 2nd rated
Chorus:
As radical as we want to be no shame or anxiety in our dreams
Playing the part of seeling discontent but we are as real as it's going to get

Last century promised so much
-like cheap salvation through rock'n roll
-like a million new ways to save our souls
-but we are still here waiting for some kind of reward
-cause here we are unsatisfied and bored
Chorus:
But what did become of us a borrowed intellect and a stolen pose
Dismantling the power with the rules it sets but we are as real as it's going to get

So we destroy ourselves every night
With the intention of salvation in sight
We know that this is all you are going to see
Cause we are as real as real can be
We know this feels all fake
And how much more of this can we take
But this is all that you are going to see
Cause essence is nowhere and nothing is real
