Promiseland - MIKA

I was born in that summer when the sun didn’t shine

I was given the name that doesn’t feel like it’s mine

Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be

Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me

Sold my soul, broke my bones

Tell me what did I get?

Did my time, toed the line

Ain’t seen anything yet

Strike me down to the ground

You know I’ve seen it before

Make it hurt I’ll eat the dirt

I just don’t care anymore

How could you break my heart?

Already played my part

I kept my promise, man

Show me the promiseland

Don’t occupy my throne

Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how

Look at me now

I’ve got no money in my pocket

And the whole world’s bringing me down

And the whole world’s bringing me down

One person’s lie is just another man’s truth

We kept on running from the devil but the devil was you

Every time I see the light I’m falling deeper in debt

If I’ve never seen the good how can I come to amend

Sold my soul broke my bones

Tell me what did I get

Did my time, toed the line

Ain’t seen anything yet

Strike me down to the ground

You know I’ve seen it before

Make it hurt I’ll eat the dirt

I just don’t care anymore

How could you break my heart?

Already played my part

I kept my promise, man

Show me the promiseland

Don’t occupy my throne

Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how

Look at me now

I’ve got no money in my pocket

And the whole world’s bringing me down

And the whole world’s bringing me down

And the whole world’s bringing me down

How could you break my heart?

Already played my part

I kept my promise, man

Show me the promised land

Don’t occupy my throne

Give me the crown I own

Lived like you told me how

Look at me now
