New Order - Broken Promise Lyrics
Oh I don't know why people lieAnd I don't know why people dieEvery time you see me you shout at me'Cause of all the things in the world that I can't seeBut what I think goes on in this worldFor a mother and a father and a boy and a girlIs that the more you earn, the less you learnThere's a fire in life where we will burnAnd I never could believe itAnd it never could be trueFor the things that mean so much to meDon't mean so much to youAnd I never could believeThe way you told me I was wrongIf I'm right and you are sinfulThen for God's sake I was wrongOh, I don't know how I think this way,And yet you sit there looking at me all dayThere's more to you than I can seeThere's a shadow of another hanging over meBut what I think goes on in this worldFor a mother and a father and a boy and a girlIs that the more you earn, the less you learnThere's a fire in life where we will burnAnd I never could believe itAnd I never could be trueFor the things that mean so much to meDon't mean so much to youAnd I never could believeThe way you told me I was wrongIf I'm right and if you're sinfulThen for God's sake I was wrongOh, I'd tear you out of heavenAnd I'd tear you out of hellAnd I'd see your life with me was becauseOne lies there as wellAnd I'd cry out in my lonelinessWhile you sleep in your fearsBut you'll never see my face againWhile I need words like these
