Back On The Street lyrics translation: UTOPIA Back On The Street song texte and letras UTOPIA Back On The Street tab, paroles and testo UTOPIA Back On The Street Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
They tell me I`ve paid back the debt I owed
Forty-four months since the slammer door closed
They give me a suit and put me back on the road
And my thoughts are racing
Where do I go? What am I supposed to live on?
What happens when the twenty-five dollars is gone?
That leaves me lots of time to wonder why I was born
But the countdown is on
Everybody`s dancing
The music sounds entrancing
But you can`t find the beat
It`s the ticking of a thousand human time bombs
Who are back on the street
Oh the names have been changed
But the story`s the same
History will repeat
Add it all up and then divide it by zero
`Cause you`re back on the street
I can`t stand the strain of this job no more
I must have forgot what I took it on for
I make lots of money, yet still I want more
And my head is blazing
I think that I`ll check out the shops downtown
Sometimes it helps to buy things when I feel brought down
At this hour I might dodge those hippie low-life`s around
But the countdown is on
Once you had to stand out
Looking for a handout
Free love and body heat
And that money`s just a crumpled green b
When you`re back on the street
Back on the street again
Said you`re back on the street again
The countdown is on
And nobody knows when
