This tired city was somebody's dream Billboard horizons as black as they seem A four-level highway across the land We're building a home for the family of man Prices are rising, the devil's to pay Moving the mountain that got in the way Prayer books and meetings to find a plan Deciding the fate of the family of man So hard Whatever are we coming to?
