[Verse 1] Same old streets with the same old cracks, same old suits saying they'll give it back Another five years, another fresh start, another empty speech while it all falls apart Rent goes up but the wages stay flat, forty-odd hours still can't cover that Letter through the door, another increase, bloke on the telly says the pressure's been eased Tell that to the mum doing shifts till dawn, tell that to the kid with the heating turned off Tell that to the man who's been grafting for years, one missed payment and he's losing it all Told to be patient, told to behave, keep your head down, work hard, put a bit away But how do you save when there's nothing to spare? How do you dream when you're barely getting there? [Pre-Chorus] We built our lives on promises that never made it through And every time the walls come down, you tell us something new [Chorus] FALSE PROMISES! Another future sold in gold! You keep telling us we're getting somewhere while we're standing in the cold! EMPTY VOICES! Every word sounds just the same! You can dress it up in something pretty but the ending never changes! AND WE'RE STILL HERE! With our backs against the wall! If this is what you call a future, then we never had one at all! [Verse 2] Scroll through the feed, another perfect life, new car, new house, everybody doing fine Meanwhile I'm checking what's left in the bank, trying to work out how I'll make it to Friday Everybody's selling some kind of escape, a better way to live if you've got enough to pay Another little shortcut, another quick fix, another rich prick making money off the desperate I ain't saying that the world's against me, I know there's people worse off than me But something's gone wrong when the people who work are the ones getting crushed underneath everything See the city from the train, all the lights look nice, never see the struggle from the other side Every tower going up, every family pushed out, another little piece of the place gets priced out They call it progress, I call it a mess, keep building something new while we're left with less All these promises, nothing ever changes, different faces, same conversations [Pre-Chorus] We built our lives on promises that never made it through And every time the walls come down, you tell us something new [Chorus] FALSE PROMISES! Another future sold in gold! You keep telling us we're getting somewhere while we're standing in the cold! EMPTY VOICES! Every word sounds just the same! You can dress it up in something pretty but the ending never changes! AND WE'RE STILL HERE! With our backs against the wall! If this is what you call a future, then we never had one at all! [Bridge] I don't need a perfect life, I just need some room to breathe Something more than working hours and the things I can't achieve Every day feels like another little piece of me is gone And I keep waiting for tomorrow like tomorrow won't be wrong I've been holding on for something that I haven't even seen And I'm tired of pretending this is everything I need! [Breakdown] YOU SOLD US A FUTURE! THEN LEFT US THE DEBT! YOU TOLD US TO TRUST YOU! WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YET! WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN! [Final Chorus] FALSE PROMISES! Another future sold in gold! You keep telling us we're getting somewhere while we're standing in the cold! EMPTY VOICES! Every word sounds just the same! You can dress it up in something pretty but the ending never changes! AND WE'RE STILL HERE! We won't disappear again! If this is what you call a future, we'll build something better then! [Outro] Same old story, same old lies, we're still waiting for a better life Same old story, same old lies, but we're not waiting all our lives! --- © 2026 SIGNAL 001.
