Big City |
Concrete and chaos rise up |
Spiderweb across the land |
Like a giant rash |
Forests lie down below |
Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash |
Some people here got it real good |
'Cause the glass towers bring prosperity |
And other people starve in the street |
Because concrete knows no sympathy |
Big city |
Big city, it’s a wishing well |
Big city, it’s a living hell |
This town it’s fucking insane |
How one will starve and another will gain |
It’s like a giant mechanical brain |
And the people are cells and the streets are veins |
It thinks only of itself |
A thousand limbs crawling as it expands and grows |
And still the concrete sits there |
Sits there stark grey and cold |
Big city |
Big city, it’s a wishing well |
Big city, it’s a living hell |
And I think I wanna be a brick layer |
So I can put another brick in the wall |
It’s sanitary rational and happy and sane |
Growing like a flower to surround us all |
Big city |
Big city, it’s a wishing well |
Big city, it’s a living hell |
Big city |
Big city, it’s a wishing well |
Big city, it’s a living hell |
