Golden Gates

Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
 Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl
 Ain't no angel with a harp comin' singing
 Leastways not that I know of in this world
 ♪
 In these days of uncertain futures
 Who knows what the masters might do
 They got their big deals goin' on, goin' on
 Got nothing to do with me and you
 If I could I'd get us a big suite
 Overlooking the park
 Only promises I know to be true
 Are the promises made from the heart
 Just the promises made from the heart
 ♪
 I don't need to see the whole thing go down
 I don't need to see another lonely man
 I don't need to see a woman crying for the savior
 Holding on to some moneyman's hands
 Who can I call to make my reservations?
 Forever thrown in the dark
 The only promises I know to be true
 Are the promises made from the heart
 Just the promises made from the heart
 I don't believe in the authorities
 They ain't gonna take care of me and you
 I don't have all the strength I need
 To live the way that I want to, yeah

 Only promises I know to be true
 Are the promises made from the heart
 Just the promises made from the heart
