Seeming as though I'm not much of a ska man, I'm writing down these
chords as power chords. It works out much nicer for me.
Riff #1
E|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------|
G|----6-4---9-7------------------------------------|
D|--4-6-4-7-9-7------------------------------------|
A|--4-4-2-7-7-5------------------------------------|
E|--2-x-x-5-x-x------------------------------------|
A A A A A
x = do not play string
A= There is palm muting between these chords. When you listen to it
you figure out the strumming.
*note*
on riff #1, if you want to hold down on the g,b, and high e strings you can
it dose sound really nice and adds to the ska sound that mouthwash has.
Riff #2

Lyrics:
Your mind is set
no attempt to change a trend gaining momentum
none the less i must confess that i've seen
all the fruits of labour that you can recive
but its rotten when you get there
do believe gone to seed
how can you act like a friend to those you steal from
you hug and embrace them with open arms
i learnt to never trust a person like that
or its an arm around your shoulder and a knife in your back
the streets are paved with gold
but its only fools gold that you'll get
so strong yet you cant fight tempation
the easy way out is your only solution
the streets are paved with gold
but its only fools gold that you'll get
so strong yet you cant fight tempation
the easy way out is your only solution
you'll never know what its like to have some sence of pride in yourself
you'll never know what its like to have some piece of mind
when you know that you dont do wrong
every time i look into your eyes
let me say that it wont be long
till i walk into your line of fire
let me say i'll stand strong
i'm not afraid to let your secret out
let people talk and shout out
you wont belive but when its your bridges have burnt
and the ash washed away
you'll feel the blow with every word that i say
the streets are paved with gold
but its only fools gold that you'll get
so strong yet you cant fight tempation
the easy way out is your only solution
the streets are paved with gold
but its only fools gold that you'll get
so strong yet you cant fight tempation
the easy way out is your only solution
well seasons change but patterns stay the same
a routine never broken its the crime of staying sane
one day you'll want to run
one day you'll want to hide
one day your going to look back at the things you left behind
i said that i dont know what you could be thinking
sailing on a ship thats slowly sinking
you ain't the same person when your drinking
taking all you can your never content with what your givin
yes i know because i've seen it in the mirror
and i know it wont be long before you fall
lack of control
lack of a feeling you belong
your on your own
if thats your choice then carry on
because there's nothing i can say or do to stop you
rule of the streets says that you do what you got to
but others around with watch the rise in your revenue
and sooner or later there going to take it from you
the streets are paved with gold
but its only fools gold that you'll get
so strong yet you cant fight tempation
the easy way out is your only solution
the streets are paved with gold
but its only fools gold that you'll get
so strong yet you cant fight tempation
the easy way out is your only solution
