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 |
