Streets of gold

Now listen up
you've got a lot to learn
and if you don't learn you don't eat
but if you're tough
and always use your head
you'll feel right at home on the street
when you've got talent ev'rything is free
watch how we do things, oooh, i guarantee
You're gonna see how the best survive
we make an art out of staying alive
if you do just as you're told
these are streets of gold
ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
you'll take the town and you'll take it with style
if you play it brave and bold
these are streets of gold

to live from week to week
you need technique
so you practice ev'ry day
the only rule is:
thou shalt not get caught
get what you can and then get away
remember all the places you can hide
remember we are always on your side

you're gonna see how the best survive
we make an art out of staying alive
if you do just as you're told
these are streets of gold
ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
you'll take the town and you'll take it with style
if you play it brave and bold
these are streets of gold

when you've got talent ev'rything is free
watch how you do things, oooh, i guarantee

you're gonna see how the best survive
we make an art out of staying alive
if you do just as you're told
these are streets of gold
ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
you'll take the town and you'll take it with style
if you play it brave and bold
these are streets of gold
