Stole Our Yesterday

Stole Our Yesterday -Blueprint

Light a Newport get a paper from the porch/can't believe the

Bars don't let the people smoke indoors/an empty beer can a

Couple old sales receipts/movie ticket stubbs a pizza box from

Last week/watching westerns on his black and white tv set/

Digital converter box the government made him get/stain in his

Shag carpet no time to clean it yet/thinking about hittin the

Bank and cashing his check

Back when it all was simple/before they took it all away/they

Sold us all tomorrow/then they stole our yesterday

Take a ride hop inside the delta 88/roadmap and an atlas is

On his backseat/dice is in the mirror pine trees keep the air

Fresh/reach into the glovebox and pull out his favorite cassette

/d**n thinking music just ain't what it used to be/ain't been

The same since CDs and MTV/he miss the vinyl LPs and the

Milkcrates/so right before he walk in the bank he flip the tape

Back when it all was simple/before they took it all away/they

Sold us all tomorrow/then they stole our yesterday

Teller ask how he's doing he says fine/they let him know he can

Check his account balance on line/he laughs and say truthfully

\"that's out of the question\"/cause he heard about the internet

But still don't trust it/get on the freeway its under construction

All the time/glance down at the buildings crowding the skyline/

Most of the spots he used to frequent all closed/they call it

\"progress\"he calls it \"nightclubs & condos\"

Back when it all was simple/before they took it all away/they

Sold us all tomorrow/then they stole our yesterday
