Lyrics
CITY
Vocal 1 ? Verse 1 ? Come to this home, come to this prodigy. From whence grew forth from one communal seed. Like ants gathering to the fallen tree. Eat through their home within the rot they breed.
Vocal 2 ? Chorus A ? The city. The city. The city what. 2x The city is a man with chains in his hands and he formulates his plans with sticks in the sand. With concrete head he brings to his plate what the city can?t give what the city can?t take.
Vocal 2 ? Chorus B ? Build the city. Build the the city. 4x
Vocal 1 ? Verse 2 ? Let us come together to destroy ourselves, to destroy ourselves. Let us build a city so we can?t escape cuz we?re all the same. Let us dig down, dig down all the way till we reach the flames. Let us build up supermarkets and skyscrapers and watch as we all go down.
Vocal 2 ? Chorus C ? What you want a city. 8x
- Chorus D ? Breathe does my own city has its own head covering my eyes.
See does my own pity for those that know no other and serve their life in line.
- Repeat Chorus A then D
