Robbin' Hood Heroes lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Rags to riches, star to addict, ya'll know how the story goes
Around every corner and playground, there's someone that who could have had it all
But for one reason or another, their path went somewhere other than a world calling their name From A grade student to class A losers, what's happening with our kids today?
Poisoned by our own, can't sleep anymore, sister's work on corners, brothers keep on brawling'
So just tell me how the story ends,
The question is where did it all begin?

[Chorus:]
Robin hood heroes
Just a page in a fairytale, lifestyle of the ghetto They robin' hood heroes,
Goes on and on, goes on and on, goes on and on
[Repeat]

[Verse 2:]
They deal to the rich, give to the poor, only metres from my door
Turning street legends to urban myth, from Rucker park all the way to Grey Lynn
From what could of to never been, be the words in the song you sing
Not with trumpets, instead with violins, while you dance by yourself, (So hooked)
You can't see you need help, (So cooked)
So it's back to the bro you go,
It hurts, cause you could have had it all

Oh ooohhhhhhhhh
You could have had it all

[Chorus:]
Robin hood heroes
Just a page in a fairytale, lifestyle of the ghetto They robin' hood heroes,
Goes on and on, goes on and on, goes on and on
[Repeat]

It goes on and on, it goes on and on
