Mouthwash - Fools Gold lyrics

rate me

Your mind is set

No attempt to change a trend gaining momentum

None the less I must confess that I've seen

All the fruits of labor that you can receive

But it's rotten when you get there

Do believe gone to seed

How can you act like a friend to those you steal from

You hug and embrace them with open arms

I learnt to never trust a person like that

Or it's an arm around your shoulder and a knife in your back

The streets are paved with gold

But its only fools gold that you'll get

So strong yet you can't fight temptation

The easy way out is your only solution

The streets are paved with gold

But its only fools gold that you'll get

So strong yet you can't fight temptation

The easy way out is your only solution

You'll never know what its like to have some sense of pride in yourself

You'll never know what its like to have some piece of mind

When you know that you don't do wrong

Every time I look into your eyes

Let me say that it won't be long

Till I walk into your line of fire

Let me say I'll stand strong

I'm not afraid to let your secret out

Yet people talk and shout out

You won't believe but when it's your bridges have burnt

And the ash washed away

You'll feel the blow with every word that I say

The streets are paved with gold

But its only fools gold that you'll get

So strong yet you can't fight temptation

The easy way out is your only solution

The streets are paved with gold

But its only fools gold that you'll get

So strong yet you can't fight temptation

The easy way out is your only solution

Well seasons change but patterns stay the same

A routine never broken it's the crime of staying sane

One day you'll want to run

One day you'll want to hide

One day your going to look back at the things you left behind

I said that I don't know what you could be thinking

Sailing on a ship that's slowly sinking

You aint the same person when you're drinking

Taking all you can your never content with what you're given

Yes I know because I've seen it in the mirror

And I know it won't be long before you fall

Lack of control

Lack of a feeling you belong

You're on your own

If that's your choice then carry on

Because there's nothing I can say or do to stop you

Rule of the streets says that you do what you got to

But others around with watch the rise in your revenue

And sooner or later they're going to take it from you

The streets are paved with gold

But its only fools gold that you'll get

So strong yet you can't fight temptation

The easy way out is your only solution

The streets are paved with gold

But its only fools gold that you'll get

So strong yet you can't fight temptation

The easy way out is your only solution
