Big City lyrics

[Verse 1]
Concrete and chaos rise up
Spiderweb across the land like a giant rash
And forests lie down below
Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash
Some people here got it real good
'Cause the glass towers bring prosperity
And other people starve in the street
Concrete knows no sympathy

[Chorus]
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, it's a wishing well
Big city, it's a living hell

[Verse 2]
This town, it's f*cking insane
One will starve and another will gain
It's like a giant mechanical brain
And the people are cells, and the streets are veins
Thinks only of itself
A thousand limbs crawling, it expands and grows
And still the concrete sits there
Sits there, stark grey and cold
[Chorus]
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, it's a wishing well
Big city, it's a living hell

[Bridge]
And I think I wanna be a bricklayer
So I can put another brick in the wall
Sanitary, rational and happy and sane
Growing like a flower to surround us all

[Chorus]
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, it's a wishing well
Big city, it's a living hell
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, big city
Big city, it's a wishing well
Big city, it's a living hell
