Broken Promise Land - Marty Stuart[00:00:00]

Written by：Marty Stuart[00:00:01]

Well an eagle flew high above red shirt table[00:00:27]

Over Marvin helper's place[00:00:30]

As Air Force One flew President Clinton[00:00:34]

To Ellsworth Air Force Base[00:00:37]

He brought with him from Washington[00:00:41]

A bag filled with dreams and cake[00:00:44]

To spread among the poor and[00:00:48]

The poorest county in the whole United States[00:00:49]

One mile long a big black car[00:00:55]

And whirleybirds did a jig[00:00:58]

As they moved across the prairie[00:01:01]

To the planet of pine ridge[00:01:05]

Where the FBI and the CIA[00:01:10]

The AIM the BIA the IRS and GOD[00:01:14]

All had their eyes set on the master plan[00:01:21]

But it all turned out to be[00:01:33]

Just another shattered dream[00:01:36]

In a broken promise land[00:01:40]

The president said to the people[00:01:55]

We know the failings of the past[00:01:58]

You've been patronized tyrannized[00:02:02]

But help is here at last[00:02:06]

Our nation she is mighty[00:02:11]

These are good and prosperous times[00:02:14]

I offer you an America where no one is left behind[00:02:18]

Your courage leads to commerce[00:02:26]

Prosperity and loans[00:02:29]

I see housing for the homeless[00:02:33]

'Coz everybody needs a home[00:02:36]

Majestic people of the plains like you[00:02:42]

Deserve security[00:02:46]

As founders of our country[00:02:48]

You've already paid for the land of the free[00:02:52]

Where the FBI and the CIA[00:03:01]

The AIM the BIA the IRS and GOD[00:03:04]

All have their eyes set on the master plan[00:03:12]

But it all turned out to be[00:03:23]

Just another shattered dream[00:03:27]

And a broken promise land[00:03:30]

Well the prez on the res sold some powerful words[00:04:41]

Of how the native life should be[00:04:44]

He watered the spirits of the people[00:04:48]

The crop came up dust and wheat[00:04:51]

And in the distance of the harvest[00:04:54]

The only thing that changed[00:04:58]

Was the color of the leaves on the hawthorn trees[00:05:01]

The rest is still the same[00:05:05]

In July 1999 the president went door to door[00:05:08]

Staring down the barrel of the cold hard truth[00:05:15]

On his American poverty tour[00:05:19]

Pine ridge South Dakota[00:05:22]

Was to be empowered on command[00:05:25]

But it all turned out to be[00:05:29]

Just another shattered dream[00:05:33]

And a broken promise land[00:05:36]
