Placebo
Broken Promise (feat. Michael Lyrics

I'm sitting here by the oceanside
I find myself in a contemplative state, near the vast expanse of the ocean.

Waiting for my ship to come in
Feeling hopeful for a positive change or opportunity to arrive.

But all I have is hope today
My current situation is limited, and I rely solely on my optimistic outlook.

Systematically placing me
Being positioned or categorized within a systematic structure or framework.

Equality opportunity
The chance for equality and fairness within societal structures.

But we all have our roles to play
Acknowledging that each individual has a defined part to fulfill within society.

Politically abusing me
Experiencing mistreatment or manipulation within the political sphere.

On my tv screen
Witnessing these deceptive acts unfold through the medium of television.

Please make these false promises go away
Yearning for the cessation of deceitful commitments and empty assurances.

The unexplained phenomenon like a clinical trial gone bad
An incomprehensible occurrence comparable to a failed medical study.

The American experiment still applies today
The principles and ideology of the American nation are still relevant in contemporary times.

There is implicit bias all around no matter what the color of your skin
Implicit prejudices exist universally, regardless of an individual's racial background.

Economically we must find a way
We must discover a solution or approach to economic challenges.

Good cop
A law enforcement officer displaying fairness and integrity.

Bad cop
A law enforcement officer exhibiting unfairness or misconduct.

Injustice for all
Widespread unfair treatment affecting everyone in society.

But defunding our liberty is not the way
Reducing or removing funds from our freedoms and rights is not the appropriate course of action.

It's just the placebo effect
It is merely an illusion of change or improvement, lacking true substance.
