Promised Money (demo)

from (Demos) by Vincent Scandal

/

lyrics

If you're missing money from my hand
You ain't clocked it
I don't want to hear your speech

You made a promise to the people
But look at all the people in the street


I realize your focus is
Making a couple extra leaves
While promised money
Burning holes in my pockets
And I'm sleeping under winter trees


You're throwing stones
And I'm thrashing
I made no promise to repent
‘Cause I'm enjoying the punishment

Hey!


Trip over the blood from your people
You ain't mopped yet
I think I can hear their screams

He kicked the bucket
You replaced him in the pulpit
I don't want to hear you preach


I realize your focus is
Making a couple extra leaves
While promised money
Burning holes in my thoughts and
I could really go for a drink


You're throwing stones
And I'm thrashing
I made no promise to repent
‘Cause I'm enjoying the punishment

Hey!


But I ain't never done bad
Been a liar or a cheat
And all I got to show
Are these bare feet

A dime bag
And a nice glass piece
Follow ‘round every ground
That I meet

What do I do?


Promised money
Burning holes in my pocket
Promised money burning holes

Promised money
Burning holes in my pocket
Promised money burning holes


Promised money
Burning holes in my pocket
I could really go for a drink

But everybody's
Got their hands in my pockets
Pulling me down until I sink


So I realign my focuses
I make a couple extra leaves
‘Cause promised money
Squeezing me like a stone
I guess I'm only good when I bleed


You're throwing stones
And I'm thrashing
I made no promise to repent
‘Cause I'm enjoying the punishment

Hey!


But I ain't never done bad
Been a liar or a cheat
And all I got to show
Are these bare feet

A dime bag
And a nice glass piece
Follow ‘round every ground
That I meet

I'm down bad
Sixteen feet deep
And I only got
A twelve foot reach

A dime bag
Said my name in green
And I fell to the ground
On my knees

What did I do?
