Held up in this cage of glass Watching as the seasons pass Wondering how long this can last, awwoo

Counting clockticks on the wall Endless lists I start to scrawl Distracted by the ending of it all...

Tell me what has happened to my hood stranger neighbors never learn their names Poisoned grass and asphalt mountains Endless trash and no more children Is this City 17?

But I'll still take the dog we'll walk the block Sing our silly songs, because this world is beautiful

Tell me what the fuck has happened to this City Blue flutters blare through my darkened shutters Paved a new lane, ripped up the trains Left us all fending in the gutters

But we will fight make this town our paradise Tug of war to the bitter end these bastard parasites

And what the fuck has happened to this earth This world has gone so insane we walk around with plastic brains Had all the answers let them lie All so we could bleed her dry Nothing will ever be the same I can't look back or I'm gonna cry

Won't look out the window to watch the falling pieces Ignore the tornado sirens flashing on my screens Looking forward never where we're going. Only growing Just hold my hands we'll build it back. we have to try
