We went up to the building site Saw the bricks and the concrete piles And watched them all working Building muscles and no-one smiled We stood around and watched them Staring back in complete contempt I'm building a building Signed his name in the wet cement We walked through the cemetery Social tombstones in black and grey Someone had a bunch of flowers Talking sentiments felt O.K. We stood in the shadows Feeling it was that time of day When everything gloomy Hits the light as it fades away We came to conclusions Knew that life was a paradox So many illusions Kept alive till the old ones dropped Demolishing lifestyles Building up all the tower blocks If life is so sacred Why spend it all in a man-made box? Songtexte We stared at the empty shells Passed a smile and then cried a lot While all this was passing by No one stopped to see what they've got They took it for granted Used the space for a parking lot We'll kick off the real world Allocating the beauty spots Industrial death camps Man made something and then forgot Knew what it should look like Trod on nature and said "Well, why not?" But you cannot replace it Just take a photo and watch it rot And bury the feeling Till no-one knows what it really meant Got caught in a landslide And left a name in the wet cement Aus Songtexte Mania
