In the morning we built this citynIn the afternoon walked through its streetsnEvening saw us leavingnnWe wandered through our days as if they would never endnAll of us imagined we had endless time to spendnWe hardly saw the crossroads andnSmall attention gave to landmarks nIn the journey from the cradle to the grave,ncradle to the grave, cradle to the gravennDid you learn to dream in the morning?nAbandon(?) dreams in the afternoonnWait without hope in the eveningnnDid you stand there in the traces(?) and let them feed you lies?nDid you trail along behind them wearing(?) blinkers on your eyes?nDid you kiss the foot that kicked you?nDid you thank them for their scorn?nDid you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born, act of being born, act of being born?nnDid you alter the face of this city?nDid you make any change in the world(?) you found?nOr did you observe all the warnings?nnDid you read this trespass notice that you keep off the grass?nDid you shuffle off the pavement just to let your betters pass?nDid you learn to keep your mouth shut?n(couldnt make out next line)nDid you learn to be obedient, and jump to out of work, jump to out of work, jump to out of work? (might have misheard that)nnDid you ever demand any answers?nThe who, and the what, and the reason why?nDid you ever question the [something]? (?)nnDid you stand aside and let them choose while you took second best?nDid you let them skim cream off and then give to you the rest?nDid you settle for the [something]?nDid you think it right, to let them rob right and left, and never make a fight, never make a fight, never make a fight?nnWhat did you learn in the morning?nHow much did you know in the afternoon?nWere you content in the evening?nnDid they teach you how to question when you were at the school?nDid the factory help you grow over you to make an ardor too?(probably misheard)nDid the place where you were living enrich your life with [something], did you reach some understanding of all your fellow man, all your fellow man, all your fellow man.
