To build a city you need a lot of stones But a city where life is grown has many faces There is love, hate and a lot of sorrow There is fear and dread of facing tomorrow It's the city you live in – you take what you 're giving To build a city you need a lot of wires You need spirit and soul for your desires You need trees and sugar bees Your achievements - you wanna take'em It's the city you live in – you take what you 're giving
