All of this is much too much Always advertising No more room and no more space but nowhere left for hiding All the streets are crowded now Happiness is nameless Nobody can understand This place is so damn shameless
Chorus: I'll build a city for you of glass and gold and stone and every road that leads out will lead us back on through I'll build a place for me For me and you
No one knows what she looks like now or even what they call her Everyone here is on the run Chasing their next dollar
There's gotta be a way to change this hopeless feeling How can I defy this? How can I uprise us? The sky is like a ceiling
I won't answer anymore to all of these wrong questions The time we have is fading fast and no one's got suggestions
Chorus x2
A city with no evidence of fear, only trust Where all the walls we build are not packed and filled with greed and selfishness Where all the lights are calm and the water flows and it's safe inside and everybody knows That we don't need all this noise and excess just to feel complete
