Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris In alleys void of any light Where nameless things live out of sight Down through the scrapers of the sky Past neon words glowing all night Echoes my name between each car... Are you happy where you are?
Blind to this impending fate We let the world carry our weight Its back breaks with every mile But we all live in denial
[Chorus:] Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? Is it too late to reverse what we've become? A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time What's mine was always yours, and yours is mine
And so we carry on each day As if our lives were not so grey While every breath that we take, We only suffocate Brush past a myriad of scenes: A homeless vet, crash on Wall Street, A single mom of three, a TV personality
Blind to this impending fate We let the world carry our weight Its back breaks with every mile But we all live in denial
[Chorus]
Save us from what we have become tonight Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right...
