Drive through the city at night Trying to stay distracted Past the dead eyes Past the cold hands I see the blood on the street, I see the smoke in the air, But further down the street, I see a different picture, Towers like Babylon, Reach up and block out the sun, This can't go on forever, Soon it will all be gone, I Know it's hard for you It's all you've ever known So much that you've collected The wealth that you protected Every brick, every page, every bone, into dust Every block, every cage, every grave, into dust Every screen, every glass, every wheel, into dust I know it's hard for you, It's all you've every known, So much that you've protected The wealth that you wrecked Every brick, every page, every bone, into dust Every block, every cage, every grave, into dust Every screen, every glass, every wheel, into dust
