Drive through the city at nightnTrying to stay distractednPast the dead eyesnPast the cold handsnI see the blood on the street,nI see the smoke in the air,nBut further down the street,nI see a different picture,nTowers like Babylon,nReach up and block out the sun,nThis can't go on forever,nSoon it will all be gone,nnI Know it's hard for younIt's all you've ever knownnSo much that you've collectednThe wealth that you protectednnEvery brick, every page, every bone, into dustnEvery block, every cage, every grave, into dustnEvery screen, every glass, every wheel, into dustnnI know it's hard for you,nIt's all you've every known,nSo much that you've protectednThe wealth that you wreckednnEvery brick, every page, every bone, into dustnEvery block, every cage, every grave, into dustnEvery screen, every glass, every wheel, into dust
