[Music and lyrics: Chris Lykins]
|
|
Man builds his world, forms it from rock, steel and clay
|
His view of nature is that it stands in the way
|
Visions of profit dance in every landlords head
|
13 in two rooms, four in every bed
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Man-made paradise
|
Falls into decay
|
Desperate humans
|
Trapped in their own cage
|
Look out the window not a free to be seen
|
They just block traffic, man is forced to intervene
|
Hiding in darkness, fearing for his life
|
Man's lost compassion but has replaced it with a knife
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
[First solo: Chris]
|
[Second solo: Rick]
|
|
Desperate children turn to drugs for their fun
|
Bodies inhabit the morgue claimed by no one
|
Hiding in shadows, their lives reduced to a lie
|
Freedom forgotten, no one hears your cry
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
