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
