concrete and chaos rise up (riff 1)
spiderweb across the land like a giant rash. (riff 2)
forests lie down below (riff 1)
foundations of buildings in a bed of ash. (riff 2)
people here got it real good, (riff 1)
'cuz the glass towers bring prosperity. (riff 2)
and other people starve in the street (riff 1)
concrete knows no sympathy. (variant 2)

Fbig city, Cit's a wishing well.
Fbig city, Cit's a living hell.
<END CHORUS>
this town, it's fucking insane: (riff 1)
one will starve and another will gain. (riff 2)

and the people are cells and the streets are veins. (riff 2)

Fthousand limbs Gcrawling it Cexpands and grows,
and Fstill the Gconcrete Csits there,
Fsits there Gstark gray and Ccold.
