Take the bridge over nothing to where it's cooling down
In the sainted ville where everybody's working
Look away from the dyed-in-the-wool
Turn up the non-profit radio and let it all sink in.
Getting by on the status quo
Worse before but there's still a hard road to go
Breathe in all the diesel fumes
Admire the concrete landscaping and doesn't it feel free ?
The world is gonna burn up four million years from now
If it doesn't happen anytime soon
Cruel and unusual all around
Window of opportunity to uplift the spin that's down.
Cropping up and digging in the final plateau
No longer seems like a burden
Breathe in all the diesel fumes
Admire the concrete landscaping and doesn't it feel free ?
Breathe in all the diesel fumes
Admire the concrete landscaping and doesn't it feel free ?
In the sainted ville where everybody's working
Look away from the dyed-in-the-wool
Turn up the non-profit radio and let it all sink in.
Getting by on the status quo
Worse before but there's still a hard road to go
Breathe in all the diesel fumes
Admire the concrete landscaping and doesn't it feel free ?
The world is gonna burn up four million years from now
If it doesn't happen anytime soon
Cruel and unusual all around
Window of opportunity to uplift the spin that's down.
Cropping up and digging in the final plateau
No longer seems like a burden
Breathe in all the diesel fumes
Admire the concrete landscaping and doesn't it feel free ?
Breathe in all the diesel fumes
Admire the concrete landscaping and doesn't it feel free ?
