Well I know what I want, I know how to get it

These streets in my mind, needing more

I long to survive, I call for yesterday

Feel all this passion, love some more

Streets of gold

I gotta make my stand

Streets of gold, oohh

Well I know what I need, when Ma wrote me a note

Said come home to stay, I said no

Can you see the light, long to her far away

Streets of gold

I gotta make my stand

Streets of gold, oohh

Well I know what I want, I know how to get it

These streets in my mind, needing more

I long to survive, I call for yesterday

Feel all this passion, love some more

Streets of gold

I gotta make my stand

Streets of gold, oohh
