there was a day when we made promises and there was a day when we kept them we were like one no one could stop us we ruled the world from the throne you made promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same now when we were tight you made such promises the world was alright and we believed them but now it's through and your stock is down put out the fuse the sparks are on the ground promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same hurrah for yesterday long live yesterday drink a toast to yesterday we got the most out of yesterday we were like one we were like one promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same hurrah for yesterday long live yesterday drink a toast to yesterday we got the most out of yesterday
