Promises

What's the matter with my view?
Is it something less than you think it should be?
What's the matter with the truth?
Is there any of it left for us to see?

That's not the way it is supposed to be
That's not the meaning of equality

I don't want promises
I don't want condescending words from you

You can do most anything
As long as it's exactly how I say
Opportunity is free, just make sure that
You have enough to pay

So go on turn and walk away
I guess there's nothing left to say
I won't make the same mistakes
Can't have it any other way

I see no honesty in promises you make
We've been too tolerant and something has to change
