Someday Soon

They keep talking of the things they'd do if we'd only vote them in One more dollar and all the bickering and suffering would end. If you'd sign your 'X' in favour it's three jobs for every man You can burn your boats, thats what they said, It seemed they had it planned. And I hope they haven't forgotten, the promises they made [Chorus:] Cause they said they'd stop the fighting And they said they would bring peace And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease. And they said they'd house the homeless And put black and white in tune And they said they'd feed a hungry child And I hope it's someday soon Saw a man sleep in an alley lane with a paper for a bed And the headline shown beneath the man and this is what they read, "If elected there would be no persons living in the street" But the paper couldn't even provide shelter for his freezing feet. And I hope they haven't forgotten, The promises they made [Chorus] Well they said it would be so different, if we'd would only play their games And I've been playing for so long and I swear its still the same! [Chorus 2x] --- Someday Soon - Great Big Sea
