Streets of Gold - The Stanfields

Hey you with the world on your shoulders

Do you find it hard to deal

With growing expectations

And a vision that isn’t real?

Are you tired of looking in the mirror

To only see a ghost

For a day in the sun the person you’ve come

Is the person you hate the most

You walk the streets of gold

But the living bleeds you dry

It casts you in a hole

Where dreams go to die

Hey you with the stars in your eyes

Do you find it hard to sleep

When your plans aren’t coming together

Cuz of promises you can’t keep

The promise of another revolution

The pride before the fall

You stuck up for the masses, you stood up for your friends

But now you hate them all.

And you walk the streets of gold

But the living bleeds you dry

It casts you in a hole

Where dreams go to die

«Don't let your doubts pull your strings.»

«Nothing lasts forever»,

Said the victim in denial.

«Sure as the thought of failure stings»,

«Nothing lasts forever when you’re dead upon arrival»
