[Intro]:
[Verse 1]:
I have seen what you call progress
Every warning sign ignored
There’s a muffled voice of reason
But we can’t make out the words
[Verse 2]:
Though the balance we struck was delicate
There was a sense of right and wrong
We tried to stem this flow with a tourniquet
But now the patient’s dead and gone
[Bridge]:
When we owe more than we’re worth
And they’re changing the locks on the doors
We raised glasses high to the bottom line
/
On a street engulfed in flames
But on goes the show…
[Chorus]:
When the city streets are barricaded
chaos we ourselves created
/
When there’s nothing left, tell me where will you go?
When the factories are automated
Broken dreams incorporated
/
Gather your things, but there’s nowhere to go
[Solo]:
[Interlude 1]:
We are children of lesser gods
Better angels, darker days
But we’re holding on to this cause
Like palm trees in a hurricane
We chase every second
/
In clothes that we slept in
But they still got away
[Chorus]: /
When the city streets are barricaded
chaos we ourselves created
/
When there’s nothing left, tell me where will you go?
When the factories are automated
Broken dreams incorporated
/
Gather your things, but there’s nowhere to go
[Interlude 2]:
Nowhere to go
Was this place ever our home?
Were these lines ever our own?
Are we just reading from the pages
Just putting on a show?
Are you along just for the ride?
Keep all hands and feet inside
Will you steer us all to safety
So at least they know you tried?
