Lyrics The Streets

The Streets

Weak Become Heroes

Turn left up the street

Nothing but gray concrete and deadbeats

Grab something to eat, Mickey D's or KFC

Only one choice in the city, don't voice in my pity

Now let's get to the nitty gritty

June reminds me of my first ditty played unique

Still 16 and feeling horny

Point the sky and feel free

See, people are all equal

Smiles are front and behind me

Swim in the deep blue sea corn fields sway lazily

All smiles all easy

Where ya from, what ya on and what's ya story?

Mezmorizing tones rising pianos, this is my zone so stop cloning

Pick paper scissors or stone 'cause me and you are the same

I known you all my life I don't know your name

(The name's European Bob Sordid, anyway)

We'll have a dance now see ya later

Pleased to meet ya - likewise, a pleasure

We all smile

We all sing

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion

All the commotion becomes floating emotions

Same piano loops over, arms wave eyes roll back

And jaws fall open, see it's a focus

Enchanted is blocking the toilets

Dizzy new heights blinded by the lights

These people are for life

So, back to his place at the end of the night

Yo, they could settle wars with this

If only they will, imagine the world's leaders on pills

And imagine the morning after, falls causing disaster

Don't talk to me I don't know ya, but this ain't tomorrow

For now I still love ya, hours fly over

Sail around diamonds and pearls

Never seen so many thick girls

Discover new worlds, look at my watch can't focus

Last two hours are lost every move fills me with lust

All of Life's problems I just shake off

Yo, mad little events happen

Things might pan out in a few blue

Maddens are like the toilets

Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us

Geezers aren't easy first timers

Kids on wiz darlings on Charlie

All come together for this party

All races many faces from places you never heard of

Where ya from, what's ya name and what ya want?

Sing to the words fecks to the fat ones

The tribal drums the sun's rising

We all smile

We all sing

Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder

I realize five years went by and I'm older

Memories smolder, winter's colder

But that same piano loops over and over and over

The road shines and the rain washes away

Same Chinese take-away selling shit in a tray

Stalk all around I walk down same sights same sounds

New beats, though, solid concrete under my feet

No surprises no treats

The world stands still as my mind slushes around

The washer nut bolt in my crown

The life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd

We all smile

We all sing

Out of respect for Johnnie Walker, Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway

Danny Rampling and all the people who gave us these times

And to the government, I stick my middle finger up

With regards to the criminal justice bill

For all the heroes out and on the way

We all sing
