Blinding Lights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, hate to be there when it go down City's like a ghost town Hard to see a road out from being homebound Nights with no sound, head spin like merry-go-rounds You ain't know? Well, you know now Crisis talks with dinosaurs, the culture's Vital signs on life support We can't open, can't afford to close the doors Man, ain't the pulse of our cities worth fightin' for? Yeah, the lifeblood [?] bleeding the night streets You breathe in the heat, thick air of the live gigs [?] curb that spirit And all the high-rise apartments in the world won't fill it We're more than cash accounts they can strip down for the gold What's thе point of a city if you rip out its soul? Tell 'em, "Don't get it misundеrstood" You miss it now, man, imagine if it's gone good, it's like [Chorus] Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights [Verse 2] Yeah 'Member when they said we in this shit together? Yeah, we know now, some more than others, I guess It's a joke how they talk, but you can't deflect that We the first to shutdown, be the last to get back, yeah Fuck a product line, can't commodify Culture ain't just measured by a dollar sigh I know I'm one of the luckier ones But a lot of the people I love are strugglin', bruh Yeah, they shut down the venues, shut down the borders Shut down the false sense of return to normals Politicians talkin' like we ain't important When bushfires hit we did all your job for ya And still always be the first to help Last to receive it when in need ourselves, yeah They dismiss and carry on, put no value in our songs Turn around, say they miss us when we're gone, like [Chorus (Extended)] Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights [Verse 3] One up, one up, one up, one up Yeah, it ain't hard to flow Like garden hose, I'm stoned as I'm passing cones I can't be cloned [?] nah, I don't spar, I spark [?] glass and chrome, my class my own [?] I pass a villa in Barcelona Sarsaparilla and pasta, I'm goin' hard, as sick the SARS, Corona And open-heart surgery With a mask on, smokin' darts and coked up, yeah I'd rather buy another house than a watch Rather make a bounce than a bop Counted me out, rounded it off The boys figures got more commas than dots My lawyer a killer, accountant a boss, it's all facts Skills last longer than hype But what anonymous monikers on the monitors type I got all I wanted from life, so fuck y'all, down for your uproar Sent with love from pub crawl, mwah [Chorus (Extended)] Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights Ooh I'm blinded by the lights
