Fake Streets Hats Lyrics

[Intro]
"Fuckin' Johnny just keeps leaving these massive gaps
Between the songs, it all goes dead like that
See? Silence, between the songs"

[Chorus: Example]
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Two days before I finally snapped
From bumped a gig, I was being a twat
New bass player declined to see teal can
Is Belgium, another bright screaming gang
Johnny Drum Machine keeps leaving trailing gaps
Putting face cream on between the breaks in tracks
I needed to stop this, draw the last of my ways
"Twenty minutes to go," the tour manager says
Been a long summer, sure spanned an age
I wanna dry my eyes and all the band on stage
("Alright, I wanna see how proud you Belgians are!")
Dead silence, not very nice to feel so depressed and violent

[Interlude]
"He's fuckin' puttin' moisturiser on!
He's fuckin' moisturisin' his face"
"I know, it's ridiculous"

[Chorus: Example]
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about

[Interlude]
"Some cunt has printed up a load of
Fucking shithole Streets hats, in the name of us"

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
Oi, oi, Amsterdam the day before the crash
The Streets hats were made by Warner staff
Thought they were fakes, not thought to ask
So I tirade the audience, found under the stage
But I'd only just woken
Ted Mayhem had never seen me so darn broken
The very next day in bed in London
With a girl I have little memory of
Unable to feel anything much
Which was the reason I bought my first suit
I wasn't thinking at that bit on stage
The fake Streets hats were actually not fake

[Chorus: Example]
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about

[Outro]
"Who's that cunt? Tell him to fuck off, man"
"The Streets!"
"Oh, yeah, no, go-go-go, yeah
Mate, sometimes, you know, it is made so hard"
