Lyrics
seven miles of money sit comfortably
between the chemtrails above and the dirt below
the landscape dotted with fancy brick buildings
filled with checking, savings, IRAs and escrow
Chorus:
the sign says church street
but i think it somehow misdefines
when the sign says church street
then you should read between the lines
on church street
seems like every seventy five feet or so
you'll see the drive-thru windows with their cashiers
they plant a twenty dollar bill into the ground
in three months *POOF!* a shiny new bank appears
oh, where to go to get a line of credit?
and where, oh where can i get me a loan?
well, stranger, just head on down to church street
let he who is without credit cast the first stone
