International Noise Conspiracy Last Century Promise Lyrics

Last Century Promise Lyrics

Album : A New Morning, Changing Weather (2001)

 

 

 last century promised so much, but look at us now when we are all grown up 

 last century promised so much, but all our heroes are dead or corrupt 

 last century promised so much, but our roles have all become outdated 

 last century promised so much, and our thoughts are all second rated 

 as radical as we want to be, no shame or anxiety in our dreams 

 playing the part of selling discontent but we are as real as we are going to
get 

 last century promised so much, like cheap salvation through rock'n'roll 

 last century promised so much, a million new ways to save our little souls 

 last century promised so much, but we are still waiting for some kind of
reward 

 last century promised so much, but here we are unsatisfied and bored 

 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 

 we destroy ourselves every night with the intention of salvation in sight 

 we know that this is all that you want to see, cause we are as real as real
can be 

 we know that it feels like fucking fake, and how much more of this can we take


 we know that this is all that you want to see, cause essence is nowhere and
nothing is real 

 as radical as we want to be, no shame or anxiety in our dreams 

 playing the part of selling discontent but we are as real as we are going to
get 

 and 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
