Blueprint - Stole Our Yesterday lyrics
[Blueprint - Stole Our Yesterday lyrics]
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
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

Back when it all was simple
