Goodbye to the Village Lyrics

This is my favourite from this album. "Rubicon", "Goodbye to the Village" and "Exile" make a perfect, bitter ending of a perfect, bitter album "Brighter Than A Thousand Suns". The meaning of this song is pretty clear. It describes pain felt inside after realizing that the nature had been replaced with civilisation. I only wonder if it's a 100% metaphor of the changing world or if Jaz really had spent his childhood in a village which later was turned to a city.
