Streets of Gold Lyrics by Anthony Ruptak

A Place That Never Changes

0

I'm driving past social security
Quietly panicking about mental stability
The fractured face of global economy
Resurrected deities on streets made of gold
When they gave me a hammer and a wedge on my very first birthday
They prayed I'd build a wall
Spend my time in dreams, or on a ledge
Never thought I'd build a bridge, did'ja?
I see right through your border security
Promised fragility
Don't believe what you've been told
Lost my shade in the wake of tranquility
Human equality is bought and it's sold
So let's use the tools we've collected for centuries
To tear up this facile street
And melt down that gold
Water's rising
The ocean, the enemy
The frenzy, the fantasy
The night and the cold
The little voice inside us is a mirror
It's a rivalry
Sold into slavery
A labor of love
And when I listen I can hear it getting up
You're so much wiser than your father
You're so much weaker than your mom
(Ooh) (x7)
(Ah) (x1)
(Ooh) (x7)
(Ah) (x1)
So you do what you can do
And I will do what I can do
And when the dreaming finally leaves us
We can split our heart in two
And I hope that love thy neighbor
Was the one thing that you actually expected of the youth
The empty vessel is a dangerous and a necessary truth
