Street Sweeper Social Club - Paper Planes Lyrics






I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got warrants in my name
If you come around here, we workin' all day
Your life gon' pass you in a second if you wait

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got warrants in my name
If you come around here, we workin' all day
Your life gon' pass you in a second if you wait

Just like Jesse James when I'm sittin' on trains
Every step we get see we're clockin' that game
Dog food for dinner, the world is in flames
Bona fide hustlers making that change

Just like Jesse James when I'm sittin' on trains
Every step we get see we're clockin' that game
Dog food for dinner, the world is in flames
Bona fide hustlers making that change

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and bullets and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
A little poison for the system

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and bullets and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
A little poison for the system

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

All they wanna do is
And a
And take your money

  18. B.... C....

    B.... C....

    That's where M.I.A took it from

    B.... C....

    she sampled the song in the original

    B.... C....

    A2Z83 Copyright strike?

  20. A.... M....

    they missed the chance of calling themselves street swiper social pub. now that would have been funny. shame.

  21. Y.... F....

    SSSC makes a cover of M.I.A. 'Paper Planes' that's already a cover of The Clash 'Combat Rock'.
    Crazy world...

    Y.... F....

    +Yunes Fadel paper planes isn't a cover it samples the song "straight to hell" from the album Combat Rock.

  22. 4.... ....

    Solo sounds like Audioslave's "Wide Awake", not bad song. 

    4.... ....

    +44Edbuoy Same guitarist

  23. g.... j....

    " All i want it s you do it... and take your money!"   fuck consumerism of this modern society

    This is unmitigated bum 

  25. S.... B....

    Wow the Coup emcee doing rock covers for Paper Planes. Life is full of surprises!

  26. d.... ....

    Shout out to MIA! WEST SIDE! That's Tom Morello, one of the best guitarists ever, and Boots Riley preachin the word. Listen to "100 Little Curses" AND "Clap for the Killers" too. love

  27. R.... B....

    Love them, but this isn't their best

  28. M.... A....

    Visit the Czech Republic

  29. M.... A....

    viva Tom Morello...

    M.... A....

    espese a escuchar esto por el mismo... ajaja

  30. B.... ....

    This is dreadful. MIAs song has way more punch to it.
    Toms in a covers band now? Disappointing.

    B.... ....

    Although I agree that this could be a lot better, just because a band covers a song doesn't mean they're a cover/tribute band.

    B.... ....

    One song versus an entire album of covers?

    B.... ....

    A cover is a cover, they sing all the same lyrics as the original. Must be that this is a remake of the song and not a cover... Bet your mom was disappointed when you popped out but she didnt TALK ALL THATSHIT!!

    B.... ....

    Its not a cover band

  31. J.... S....

    I seen them play this shit at NiN:JA, Tom started playing with his teeth, had me like :O

  32. C.... S....

    Tom Morello is so badass that he can play "twinkle little star" and make it badass.

  33. A.... J....

    They need to come off of hiatus.

  34. A.... F....

    He shaves his head, I think I discovered the secret.

  35. s.... ....

    the hell is this?

  36. e.... ....

    They are

  37. T.... ....

    I'm baffled. Sounds exactly the same. How can you not like it?

  38. E.... ....

    Challenge accepted!

  39. A.... M....

    Looks like they're wearing dress blue coats

  40. L.... T....

    this version of this song is fucking awful.

  41. A.... K....

    Go bald

  42. b.... ....

    Troll detected.

  43. J.... ....

    He's probably refferencing the fact that the tune was originally lifted from the song Straight To Hell by The Clash

  44. m.... d....

    além do som legal é divertido vê a dança kkk

  45. M.... O....

    This is very bad. The only really had 1 good song...Promenade

  46. N.... M....

    after every crazy new guitar solo he creates, God makes him younger...a gift for kicking slash's ass =O

  47. P.... ....

    Aint the same without the gunshots

  48. t.... ....

    This is beast!

  49. r.... ....

    Thats not him.

  50. T.... ....

    Lenny Kravitz sounds greAT!

  51. s.... b....

    Boots Riley yes and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine.

  52. n.... ....

    why isn't the original paper planes suggested?

  53. s.... ....

    Now, MIA's song was catchy (owing mainly to the choice of samples), but groundbreaking? No.

  54. J.... ....

    Cause he's a god.

  55. M.... ....

    They managed to take everything that MIA did with the original that made it so groundbreaking and brilliant, and throw it out the window. They turned into common hip hop drudgery, even if they are playing real instruments.

  56. I.... ....

    1:58 Tom Morello is the honey badger. No fucks given.

  57. k.... h....

    The music and music video is so great.

  58. N.... Z....

    he's balded actually...

  59. 1.... ....

    The original riff was sampled from a Clash song called Straight to Hell, that sample was used in an M.I.A song called Paper Planes, and this is a cover of that track. AR Rahman had nothing to do with this song, aside from appearing on the Slumdog Millionare soundrack alongisde M.I.A's track.

  60. M.... ....

    imagine this song with Zack de la Rocha :o

  61. f.... ....

    Dafaq!! This is clearly a soundtrack by AR Rahman!!!! :/

  62. T.... ....

    then why are you here or even bothering to express your opinion when you know you will only bring shame to yourself and cause arguments ..

  63. P.... B....

    The guitarist is Carl Restivo and YES, he did help with the album. The Bassist is Dave Gibbs. They're also part of the "freedom fighter orchestra" when Tom does his Nightwatchman gigs. They've all been a part of SSSC since they toured for their first album.

  64. J.... D....

    this is beyond terrible......

  65. J.... ....

    @orsadam yeah .. he don't have gray hair-.... i want to know his secret..

  66. j.... h....

  67. T.... ....

    this cover makes the original so much less annoying..

  68. F.... S....

    one of the worst covers all over the world

  69. D.... ....

    @orsadam He's 47! :O

  70. y.... v....

    Better than the original.

  71. d.... s....

  86. j.... b....

    @gezzed812 and lil wain

  87. D.... C....

    the Clash are immortals :-)

  88. s.... ....

    buh this shit fucking sucks....this is right up there with Audioslave's cover of Killing in the name of....everything else i heard from this project is pretty cool tho....not trollin, just sayin, yo.

  89. s.... ....

    @oklahomandn49 yep. agreed.

  90. A.... ....

    good the coup and tom morello

  91. P.... B....

    @SPGameBroadcast SSSC's music might be in-your-face but the vocal delivery between Boots Riley vs Zach Dela Rocha is completely different. The rhythm section sounds nothing like Brad Wilk/Timmy C, and overall the two bands only sound similar because they have the same guitarist. SSSC's lyrics are just as political, but they are far more laid back. Boots doesnt scream like Zach does. However, Boots uses a clever sense of humor to get the point accross. Love 'em both but they dont sound the same.

  92. P.... B....

    @toxicbiscuitj28 Because Tom Morello is the only member of that band in this one. Entirely different group of people, making a somewhat familiar to RATM yet at the same time totally different vibe. RATM was in-your-face about their political issues while SSSC is more laid back and with a sense of humor.

  93. A.... R....

    @orsadam yeah, he's immortal, he's a vampire.

  94. K.... ....

    @toxicbiscuitj28 Social Street Sweeper is a totally different band. Notice an extra guitarist? Tim Crawford isn't on Bass either.

  95. S.... M....

    @pumx3 OOoohh!!! *raises hand* His epic custom Arm The Homeless? :3

  96. r.... ....

    @orsadam the funk keeps him young
