Take me down , take me down, to where the river flows
Throw me in the deep end, yeah just let me go
Because I’m sick of this, it don’t make sense
Wanna go my own way, and fuck your consequence
Because I’m happy now, and it’s all good
Take me down, take me down, do it fast then do it slow
Doesn’t really matter, one day you’re gonna go
Gonna do my own thing, shut out all the noise
Be good to my woman, stay true to my boys
Yeah its simple now, and it’s all good
But you can’t change me, I’ll be a better man
Maybe I’ll walk another road
Don’t try to save me, with your false promises
I don’t believe what I’m being sold
Spin me round, spin me round, dancing like a fool
Convinced that I’m winning until they change the rules
You could all in, or you could hedge your bet
Make up a new move, go out of step
But the banker always wins, and he ain’t no good
Take me down, take me down, walk these lonely streets
I don’t know what they told you but that ain’t gold beneath your feet
(That ain’t gold……..that ain’t gold…..)
The sands are shifting, they move with time
If a man’s not careful, he could lose his mind
(that ain’t gold) but it feels good
