It's written on my face.
It's written in the news.
It's all over this place,
But it hasn't quite got to you.
It's such a disgrace
All the things that we do.
We keep buildin' all of these fires,
But then forget about their fumes.
The concrete all around.
The constantly buildin'.
We keep takin' from this ground.
What'll be left
When we end?
When we end, love?
And it's such a shame.
Oh, the way that we live.
Man, we're constantly takin'
But tell me, what can you give now?
Start to feel the strain
Of the action here and there.
Tell me, when will this world
Oh, will you start to care?
The concrete all around.
The constantly buildin'.
We keep takin' from this ground.
What'll be left
When we end?
When we end, love?
We've been given this place
Oh, but look what we've done.
Yeah, we're all here together, now
Burnin' under the same son.
So concrete all around,
Constantly buildin'.
We keep takin' from this ground.
What'll be left
When we end?
It's written in the news.
It's all over this place,
But it hasn't quite got to you.
All the things that we do.
We keep buildin' all of these fires,
But then forget about their fumes.
The constantly buildin'.
We keep takin' from this ground.
What'll be left
When we end?
When we end, love?
Oh, the way that we live.
Man, we're constantly takin'
But tell me, what can you give now?
Of the action here and there.
Tell me, when will this world
Oh, will you start to care?
The constantly buildin'.
We keep takin' from this ground.
What'll be left
When we end?
When we end, love?
Oh, but look what we've done.
Yeah, we're all here together, now
Burnin' under the same son.
Constantly buildin'.
We keep takin' from this ground.
What'll be left
When we end?
