Mouthwash - Fools Gold lyrics

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 ain't 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
