Verstummte Streets

Lyrics

[Intro: Maeckes] Okay Jetzt sind wir angekommen, wo wir angekommen sollten Auf der Straße, the streets Mike, gib mal 'n Beat Meine Damen und Herren, ein guter Kumpel von mir Wir rauchen ab und zu eine schauen Fernsehen zusammen Seine Majestät, ah was, irgendsoein Stinker, der ab und zu auf der Couch rumhängt, Mike Skinner Man prügelt sich mit ihm Abends im Club und so Mike, red' du doch mal, ich hab kein Bock mehr [Verse: Mike Skinner] 'Cause this world swallows souls And when the blues unfold, it gets cold, silence burns holes You're going mad, perhaps you always were But when things was good, you just didn't care This is called irony When you most need to get up, you got no energy Time and time shit'll happen, the dark shit's unwrapping But no-one's listening, your mates are laughing Your brethren's fucking and then you start hating Your stomach starts churning and you mind starts turning So smoke another draw It won't matter no more, but the next day still feels sore Rain taps on your window, always did though But you didn't hear it when things were so-so You're on your own now, your little zone You were born alone and believe me, you'll die alone Weed becomes a chore You want the buzz back so you follow the others onto smack [Hook: Mike Skinner] Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive [Verse: Maeckes] Ein ganzes land fährt auf Reserve Tankt nur noch für Fünfer Wir halten erst an, wenn wir sterben Und sonst bleiben wir immer in Bewegung, nur damit wir nicht dumm dastehn' In einer nähe (von den anderen entfernt) Jeder Tag ist Montagmorgen, sogar wenn wir Samstag Abend fernsehn' Sehen wir es wird nichts größer als der Schlankheitswahn der Herzen Ausgelöst von Fresssucht, die kam als die Anteilnahme ging Und zwar mit dem Ersten der seinen Anteil nahm und ging Und sonst Krieg ist nur irgendein weiteres Ding, das wir nicht wolln' Doch über Leichen gehn' Is' scheinbar besser für die Wirbelsäule Während die Gehirne schäumen, klingen Töne, Palästinas Zäune, Twin Tower, zwei Flugzeuge Sind wir nur ein Schwamm von früh bis spät, den keiner drückt Wir beantragen Asyl in der Anonymität Dabei wären wir gern ein Gramm Heroin, das jeder drückt Doch sind wir für Hilfe zu cool, für Liebe zu stark Und deshalb [Hook: Mike Skinner] Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive [Verse 2: Mike Skinner] "Stop dreaming", people who say that are blaspheming They're doing nine-to-five and moaning And they don't want you succeeding when they've blown it And your idols – who are they? They too dreamt about their day Positive steps will see your goals Whether it's dollars or control, feel the gold I ain't helping you climb the ladder, I'm busy climbing mine That's how it's been since the dawn of time If you reach a cul-de-sac, the world turns it's back This is your zone, it's like blackjack He might get the ace or the top one So organise your two's and three's into a run And then you'll have fucked him, son And for that you'll be the better one One last thing before you go, though When you feel better tomorrow, you'll be a hero But never forget today, you could be back here, things can stray But what if you see me in that window? You won't help me, I know That's cool, just keep walking where you go Carry on through the estate Stare at the geezers so they know you ain't lightweight And go see your mates And when they don't look happy, play 'em this tape [Hook: Mike Skinner] Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive Just try and stay positive [Outro: Mike Skinner] I hope you understand me (just try and stay positive) I ain't no preaching fucker and I ain't no do-goody-goody either This is about when shit goes pear-shaped And if you aren't, or never have been at rock bottom Then good luck to you in the big wide world But remember that one day, shit might just start crumbling Your bird might fuck off or you might lose your job It's when that happens that what I'm talking about Will feel much more important to you So if you ain't feeling it Just be thankful that things are cool in your world Respect to BC Positivity Positivity
