Discouraged… Making the best of it

It's Broke!

lyrics

Ladies And Gentlemen May I Have Your Attention
This Is A Special Report. I Take No Pleasure In Informing You
That There's Been An Infiltration
I Suggest You Cancel Your Reservations To The Promised Land

Let Down Jerked Around Led Around Without Warning Without A Sound
Expectation Have No Place Delusion Has Its Purpose
To Kid Yourself If You Can. You're A Better Man. I Tip My Hat Off To You
Reality Gets The Best Of Me. I'd Rather Live In Fantasy
My Eyes Are Open And I See Broken Promise Land Of Tragedy

We All Live In Our Own Little Worlds And I Guess That's All We Can Do
But It's Hard Not To Think Of The Others Who Don't Have As Good As You
Clearwater Exist No More, Mother Natures Looking For The Door
To Run Away From The Mess We Made But She’s Stuck Here In A Rage
She Blows Her Mind Like A Hurricane, Her Tears Flood The Terrain
She Trembles And Makes The Earthquake, Can’t Handle All The Mistakes

Optimism Has Its Place, Somehow The Heart Find The Space
Feel Love Just The Same, That's All We've Got To Win The Game

We’ve Only Got Ourselves And Each Other If We're Lucky
And If We're Not We're Alone
I Think Of All The People I've Shared Myself With, Spent Years With
That No Longer Exist, But Still Walk The Planet
But Not My Street. No Longer Holding My Hand, In The Broken Promise Land
It's A Broken Promise Land

Maybe The Ignorant Hold The Key, Or The Dreamers That Speak So Flowery
And I'm Searching For The Niche For Me


Somebody Help Me See The Light
Somebody Tell Me It's Gonna Be All Right
Somebody Hold Me Through The Night
Is There A Drug Out There To Make Me Believe
The Promised Land Is Up My Sleeve
And Just Like Magic It Will Appear
And The Overcast Will Clear
Oh How The Sun Will Shine
Now Everything Is Fine
Let's Skip Hand In Hand To The Broken Promise Land

Optimism Has Its Place
Somehow The Heart Finds The Space

To Feel Love Just The Same, That's All We Got To Win The Game
In The Broken Promise Land
