Stole Our Yesterday |
| Light a Newport, get a paper from the porch |
| Can’t believe the bars don’t let the people smoke indoors |
| An empty beer can, a couple old sales receipts |
| Movie ticket stub, a pizza box from last week |
| Watching westerns on his black and white TV set |
| Digital converter box the government made him get |
| Stain in his shag carpet, no time to clean it yet |
| Thinking about hitting the bank and cashing his check |
| Back when it all was simple |
| Before they took it all away |
| They sold us all tomorrow |
| Then they stole our yesterday |
| Take a ride, hop inside the Delta 88 |
| Road map and an atlas is on his backseat |
| Dice is in the mirror, pine trees keep the air fresh |
| Reach into the glove box and pull out his favorite cassette |
| Damn, thinking music just ain’t what it used to be |
| Ain’t been the same since CDs and MTV |
| He miss the vinyl LPs and the milk crates |
| So right before he walk in the bank he flip the tape |
| Back when it all was simple |
| Before they took it all away |
| They sold us all tomorrow |
| Then they stole our yesterday |
| Teller ask how he’s doing, he says «Fine» |
| They let him know he can check his account balance on line |
| He laughs and say, «Truthfully, that’s out of the question» |
| Cause he heard about the internet but still don’t trust it |
| Get on the freeway, it’s under construction all the time |
| Glance down at the buildings crowding the skyline |
| Most of the spots he used to frequent all closed |
| They call it «progress», he calls it «Nightclubs and condos» |
| Back when it all was simple |
| Before they took it all away |
| They sold us all tomorrow |
| Then they stole our yesterday |
| This song right here goes out to all my people |
| That’s happy with what they got, you know? |
| Despite that everybody around you is telling you |
| That what you got ain’t good enough, you know? |
| Like what if… what if I don’t want that upgrade man? |
| Like what if what I got works fine for me, you know? |
| That don’t mean I’m not ambitious, does it? |
| I hope not man, I hope not |
| Back when it all was simple |
| Before they took it all away |
| They sold us all tomorrow |
| Then they stole our yesterday |
