Lyrics
Living in the city
Can be so dark and old
Steel and concrete madness
Going up around my soul
In the name of progress
Do you see us growing cold?
Living in the city
All I want is an unused place
Where my children can find some space
To grow
To grow
I had some dreams of the country
A house among the trees
But what they choose to pay me
Hardly keeps me week to week
For the millions who must stay here
Between the walls we need relief, relief
Living in the city
All I want is an unused place
Where my children can find some space
To grow
Our children grow
Lying in the sunshine
Where buildings once had stood
Makes me feel sometimes
Each of us can do some good
Each of us has basic human needs
Let us leave land enough to breathe
Someday we may not have to leave
Living in the city
