The So So Glos - Island Loops lyrics

I was standing by on an ATM Down in the street they walk on by Taking all the money from the hole in the sky Well, I saw someone in the satellite sun With a briefcase in his hand, or was he holding a gun? They got the purse, but they don't stand a chance There's a battle all around, he said, "f** art, let's dance" While I was standing by on an ATM And people waiting in line to get that freedom in their hands And I know that these streets That these streets were never paved with gold But that's just so we're told And our story books are all dated and old And you know you can rewrite them, should the pages fall And the ones who don't believe, well, f** them all Right around the corner the from your dixie cup fun There's the malt liquor drums all beatin' on the slums You walk on by, but don't you feel afraid That your 40oz will be a cappuccino some day Well I know, that these streets That these streets were never paved with gold But that's just so we're told And your dreams these days it seems are bought and sold But the feeling still breathes in a crowded dance hall And the ones who don't believe, well, f** them all But these streets were never paved with gold But that's just so we're told And your dreams these days it seems are bought and sold But you know you can rewrite them, should the pages fall And the ones who don't believe
