You can't see the moon above the city.
They sky is always full of clouds,
even when the sun's gone down.

It's like living on the Underground.
Black and white in shades of brown

And you can't breathe the air in the city.
With the fumes of cars and factories,
your lungs aren't what they used to be.
Breathe in the new complacency,
"at least it's good for industry."
"At least it smells like home."

And you can't get a job in the city,
with all the new technology,
robots run the factories.
It's sanitized economy.
Robots don't get lung disease.

And you're sit-ting in the cit-ty

And you can't get healthy in the city,
the sky is so grey,
its like forty f__s a day,
and the water is hard beneath the foam.
The despondency inside,
merely reflects the concrete sky.
So let's go out.
Let's stay in.
"At least it smells like home."
