Promises whispered, empty and thin,
A charade played, where do lies begin?
Oh, false promises, a deceitful art,
A hollow shell, a fractured heart.
Promises whispered, empty and thin.

The father's words, a curious thing,
Empty heart, and coffers bare, they sing.
Yet pride he wears, a haughty air,
Oh father, why this cruel snare?
I cannot understand, this strange affair.
Promises whispered, empty and thin.

Father speaks of money's decree,
Trading love for currency.
He says love is dust, a worthless plea.
He, of love's purity, boasts with glee.
Promises whispered, empty and thin.

Oh, false promises, a deceitful art,
A hollow shell, a fractured heart.
Promises whispered, empty and thin.
These modern gentlemen, they never cease,
Always anxious, they find no peace.
Empty pockets, eyes that roam,
No work they do, far from home.
Yet pride they wear, a haughty air,
Oh father, why this cruel snare?
Promises whispered, empty and thin.

These women of today, a puzzling plight,
Free diseases, day and night.
Fighting men, their constant aim,
Preparing for the endless game.
No work they do, but sarees they bind,
No work they do, but sarees they bind.
Promises whispered, empty and thin.

Why the worry, oh you of the seat?
We’ll show the world, what we can meet.
The time will come, we'll take our stand,
Upon that chair, in this promised land.
Promises whispered, empty and thin.
