These streets aren't paved with gold Don't believe everything that you're told Deception hides in all you see Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe And in the land of the free You know nothing comes for free These colours don't run, Like colours

On these streets of gold A million raindrops fell, but now I'm escaping the clouds But somewhere across the river Way back where the sun rises slow A leading road shines like glitter There's still a long way to go A million ways to go, but I never walk
