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

[00:00:01] Written by：Marty Stuart

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:36] Just another shattered dream

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:29] Prosperity and loans

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

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

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

[00:02:46] Deserve security

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:27] Just another shattered dream

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:22] Pine ridge South Dakota

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

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

[00:05:33] Just another shattered dream

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