Somebody's City

People on the underground

Sit silent as their tubes arrive on time

Faces like immortal stone

Suppressing what they really feel inside

But who am I to criticize

I close my eyes and I'll just keep on walking

Somebody's city

Somebody's life

Somebody's city

Somebody's life

Smokestacks pointing to the sky

And oil forever floating on the river

Impairing all the beauty God

Created in this life for you and me

But what the hell do I care

I'll pretend it isn't there and I'll keep on walking

Somebody's city

Somebody's life

Even outside you find the rush hour's on

You're getting pushed everywhere, you're jammed in doorways

Man, it's so hard to move

Smoke fills the air, my lungs are turning to coal

It's getting so hard to breathe

I'm sorry lady if I'm leaning on you

I feel the time will surely come

When everyone will put their hands together

And pray the rain might wash away

The filth that we've donated to this land

But in-between what can be done?

You dig your graves while I just stand there looking

Somebody's city

Somebody's life

Somebody's city

Somebody's life

Somebody's city

Somebody's life
