Last Century Promise

Last Century Promise - The (International) Noise Conspiracy

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But our roles have all become outdated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

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 f**king 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 gonna get
