Golden Gates — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Ain`t no golden gates gonna swing open
Ain`t no streets paved in natural pearl
Ain`t no angel with a harp come singin`
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 promise I know to be true
Are 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 hand
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
I don`t believe in the authorities
They ain`t gonna take care of me and you
I don`t have all the strength that I need
To love the way that I want to
The only promises Iknow to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
